These sensory differences may have a significant impact on self-regulation, ability to engage in learning or other activities, and feelings of safety in one’s body and in the community.

People with Autism may wander from home, school, the movies, a store, a car, a park, or any other location. It can happen within seconds, under any kind of supervision, and in any circumstance. Understanding that Autistic individuals are often drawn to water and that water sources should always be checked first can save lives. This child made it home safely because of the layers of protection in place - door alarms, calling 9-1-1 immediately, and checking water first. Great work to all involved! To learn more how you can protect your loved ones check out our Wandering Resource Guide here: https://bit.ly/4dBGSBA. Link to news story here: https://bit.ly/4cnjerI.
