Erits Madrid

Erits Madrid is a civil engineer from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, who has spent 17 years advocating for his son diagnosed with autism. Facing numerous rejections from educational institutions, he highlights the challenges families encounter due to the lack of specialized services and societal discrimination. Madrid emphasizes the financial burden of therapies and medical care, which can cost around L5,000 monthly, making early diagnosis and intervention a privilege for those who can afford it. His commitment to raising awareness about autism reflects the urgent need for improved access to education and support for children with special needs in Honduras.
