The Atlético de Madrid striker and the Real Madrid defender jumped on the grass of La Cartuja with a child, both wearing helmets. It caught the attention of many, but there was an explanation.
The helmets are used by people with autism or who are sensitive to loud noises, and both Morata and Carvajal put them on so the child doesn’t feel alone. People with autism or hypercusis, sensitivity to loud sounds, usually wear them. The boy who accompanied the Spanish internationals wears a helmet every day and to make the matter visible, they put it on too.
The visibility of autism, the social axis of the national team match in Seville next Thursday
As the RFEF had reported through its official website, the Visibility of Autism would arrive this Thursday in La Cartuja in Seville.
“The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), which has made an effort to make various social goals visible in the matches it organizes, has chosen on this occasion those of people with autism. For this reason, boys and girls with autism will be included as players supervisors will appear at the exit of the players to the playing field; and a “0 Autism Box” will be activated, where families with minors with autism can watch the match, with sound-absorbing helmets for the little ones and, in addition, in a specific relaxation area ” they explained this week on the Federation’s website.
“The “Palcos 0” initiative of the RFEF, also supported by UEFA, therefore approaches people with autism through the agreement signed by the Federation with Autism Spain. An agreement that, we must not forget, will allow the integration of the group into has already made possible the dynamism of the RFEF. In this way, the national teams have staff with autism, such as Alex González, who acts as a kitman in several men’s categories. In addition, the relaxation area of La Cartuja resumes the path taken in the match played by the women’s team in Ibiza last spring,” she added.
