Hello, I have what I believe is an Autumn Joy Sedum plant. It has developed black specks all over it. I am wondering what these specks are and how to treat. Please help!

Greetings, welcome to the Forums.

These are Aphids (Aphididae, Homotera) on Autumn Joy Sedum (Hylotelephium x 'Herbstfreude').
You may spray the plant with an insecticidal soap or an isopropyl or ethanol solution of 70% or higher.
Many succulent growers prefer to use an alcohol spray for aphids, as it is less likely to remove the waxy bloom that gives so many succulent their attractive silver and grey leaf tones.
