      It talks about the experience black people with autism have. In particular, it talks about someone with a hyperfixation on deejaying and how the video author relates to those experiences. The video author has a hyperfixation on writing.

      Two notable points that stuck with me:

      • Black autists may not get diagnosed, because they’re less likely to visit psychologists for depression and such. As apparently the family of his put it: Mental health issues are for white people.
      • Autistic behavior quirks themselves got interpreted as white people behavior.
