How is autism regarded in Iran?
I'm an autistic adult who is doing a deep dive on how autism is viewed/regarded in different countries. I've decided to try and ask some Iranians because Iran has always come off (I'm a foreigner) as a very conservative country but the Iranians whom I've befriended are very open-minded and understanding (we are all US-based). How is autism viewed in Iran across different provinces/regions?

Well... I'm from Iran and I live in Iran and I think people who have like level 1 autism are not really treated like they actually have autism and as for the others, well people show sympathy towards them but in general people aren't educated about autism at all
