The United Nations calls for a world that embraces autistic patients and guarantees their rights

Guterres pointed out that people with autism make valuable contributions to their societies, but they face major challenges that include deprivation of health care and education, and the lack of recognition of their legal people.

Guterres alerted – in a message on the occasion World Autism Awareness Day – That this discrimination contradicts the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, as well as with the commitment that was pledged in the text Sustainable development goals Not to leave anyone behind the knee. “This is a situation that must be corrected.”

He went on, saying: “We have to develop health and educational systems, work environments and urban designs in which the needs of all are taken into account and are available to people with autism, opportunities that enable them to achieve success in their lives on an equal footing with others.”

The Secretary -General called on governments to adopt legislation and policies that guarantee equality for people with autism, and work to provide opportunities for them to achieve success in their lives.

Guterres concluded his message by emphasizing the commitment of the United Nations to build a world in which no person with autism leaves behind the knees.
