The West Texas Autism Walk Is Rescheduled Due to Bad Weather
Texas Autism Walk has been rescheduled to April 12th due to the inclement weather conditions. Nonetheless, the walk will still take place at Redbud Park.
Texas Weather Forces Date Change for a Great Cause
Due to recent rain and a cold front moving through Abilene and the Big Country, the 4th Annual Spectrum Connection Autism Walk has been rescheduled from April 5 to Saturday, April 12, 2025, at Redbud Park. Event organizers made the decision in the interest of safety and comfort for all participants, especially the children.
Check-in and registration will now begin at 9:00 a.m., and the walk will start at 10:00 a.m.
West Texas Community Comes Together for Autism Awareness
This walk, organized by the Big Country Spectrum Connection, continues to shine a light on autism awareness and the importance of support for families and children living with autism across West Texas. Organizer Jeri Jones says "moving the date gives more people the chance to register and prepare, especially since many participants will be arriving in costume or ready for face painting."
Jeri Jones adds, “Rescheduling the event will allow more people to sign up and give those already registered time to prepare. It's about making it fun, safe, and inclusive for everyone involved.”
