The event was sponsored by certain members of the autism community in Iran who supplied the expenditures of the walk to fulfill their social responsibility. The next Autism Awareness Walk is scheduled to be held in March 2024 concurrent with World Autism Awareness Month, which will be kicked off on April 2. For further information, visit the official website of the Iran Autism Association.
Families of autistic patients have to make all-out efforts to accompany and take care of their loved ones their entire lives. This is while these parents are sometimes forced to apologize for their children’s unintentional behaviors because many people around them do not even know how to understand and encounter autistic patients. Different situations such as the change of seasons, sounds, light, reception of too much information as well as staring at these patients can disturb them.
At the end of the walking event for autistic patients, some family members of autistic adults addressed ordinary people present, emphasizing the need for improving public awareness about the phenomenon and familiarity with the different behaviors of autistic patients. Lack of sympathy and appropriate reaction by some people have forced families of autistic patients to live in isolation.
