About Us
The Colony Autism Advocacy Group was founded in 2020 by Emmy Award-winning songwriter and autism mom Bianca 'Blush' Atterberry. Since then we have been helping black and brown families throughout the country find services and resources for their loved ones on the autism spectrum.
​
It is important to us to ensure that black and brown communities have access to the same autism support and resources as other communities. A 2017 study found that African-American children are 5.1 times more likely to be misdiagnosed with conduct disorders before being diagnosed with ASD. We are here to help lower those statistics!
Founder Bianca "Blush" Atterberry is pictured here with her son Niko. He was diagnosed with ASD at 3. He is one of the main inspirations behind The Colony AAG and why she is so passionate about helping others and their families. She has had 9+ years of experience and understands the importance of getting services and support for Autism.
