In Islamic society, there is an emphasis in respecting the lives of people with disabilities.[13] In general, Islam is against all kinds of discrimination, including discrimination against disability.[14] In society, people with disabilities are often marginalized for various reasons, including lack of education about disabilities in communities and shame for having disability and the poverty that often accompanies disability.[15] Parents of children with disabilities such as autism, often get information about their children's condition from non-medical sources, believing vaccinations or the evil eye caused the autism.[2] Some parents turn to religion to help their children improve.[16]
