Hey 4Paws for Evie tribe, we figured it’s been a while since we had a “pupdate”. Not a lot has changed since the last update, still just waiting on our class date that will happen sometime in the first half of next year. Evie has been loving the summertime and swimming every chance she gets. She just had a birthday and we had the best time celebrating our sweet girl 😍I’ll keep updating as we move through the process!! Happy Independence Day weekend everyone!!

Stay safe out there this weekend. Make others aware, and always

Seven Factors that increase the risk of wandering/elopement fatality in those with :

1. Age. Most wandering-related deaths occur in autistic children 14 & under.

2. Close proximity to water. Most drownings occur in residential, recreational, and vacation settings close to water, particularly ponds, rivers & lakes.

3. Hotels/Vacation Rentals/Unfamiliar Settings. This also includes a relative’s or friend’s home, or new home or school. Alert relatives, neighbors, friends, schools. Maintain extra hyper-vigilance & watch for unlocked doors, gates, and fence gaps.

4. Parties/Gatherings/Holidays. It is often thought that having more adults around strengthens protection, but the opposite can occur. Assign one adult to keep vigilant watch at all times.

5. Nap Time. Co-napping can result in the child waking first & exiting. This is also true for relatives or anyone watching the child. Warn them not to nap.

6. Recreational Outing or Outdoor Activity. Camp, a day at the beach or park, swimming, playing outside, etc., can increase risk. Make sure camp counselors, aides, and babysitters are aware.

7. Transitions/Overstimulation/Commotion. Noisy or high-stimuli settings or activities, along with stress/triggers can increase risk. Stay extra hyper-vigilant.

Happy World Autism Awareness Day!! Evie was so excited this morning to show everyone her shirt and tell them how au-some she is!! Evie’s autism can sometimes mean she gets overwhelmed in new or loud environments, have trouble communicating her thoughts or feelings, and has to rock or spin to help her brain regulate. We are so proud of our kind, smart, funny Evie Roo and we celebrate her every day! 💙
