Championing Autism Awareness
Creating Impact Through Movement
At the Divi’s Foundation for Gifted Children (DFGC), we believe in creating meaningful change—both in how we spread awareness and in how we act. Over the years, we’ve proudly championed autism awareness through marathons and walks, uniting communities to support individuals on the spectrum. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong condition that affects how individuals communicate, interact, and experience the world.
Autism affects many people from all walks of life. In India, estimates suggest the number of people affected could be as high as 1 in 68. Despite its prevalence, awareness and access to care remain limited—especially in rural areas.
Autism isn’t something to be cured, but a different way of being that deserves understanding and support. With early intervention and inclusive environments, children with autism can live meaningful, fulfilling lives.
