Knowing the difference can make all the
difference 💙

On average in the U.S., 7 children with die each month after wandering or eloping from all types & levels of supervision. It often happens silently and quickly, usually by drowning or traffic-related accidents.

Many are nonspeaking, making it hard for them to ask for help or even respond when found. Your ability to recognize the behavioral differences and act quickly can potentially save a life.

Suspect A Child May Have Autism? Here's What You Can Do:

1. Do not assume the child is okay just because they are calm. Children with autism may not show fear even in dangerous situations.
2. Approach slowly and calmly. Sudden movements or loud voices can cause distress or flight.
3. Offer something familiar or comforting. Hold out food, water, a smartphone, or a tablet if available. These items may help gain the child’s attention or create a sense of safety.
4. Avoid physical contact unless the child is in immediate danger.
5. Use simple language and a gentle tone. Even if they do not respond, they may still understand.
6. Call 911. Describe the child's appearance, location, and any behaviors you observe.
7. Stay with them. Ensure the child doesn’t enter roads or water until help arrives.
