The event brought together families, caregivers, healthcare professionals, educators and supporters, all united in raising awareness and promoting greater understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The walk, held in a spirit of unity and advocacy, served as a reminder of the importance of inclusion, early diagnosis, and access to supportive services for individuals living with autism.

He emphasised the Ministry of Health’s ongoing commitment to strengthening services for children with developmental needs, including expanded screening, early intervention programmes and increased public education initiatives.
This Annual Autism Walk continues to serve as a platform for amplifying the voices of individuals with autism and their families while encouraging national dialogue on the importance of acceptance, support and empowerment.
The Ministry reaffirms its support for initiatives that promote inclusivity and remains dedicated to improving the quality of life for persons living with autism across Guyana.
