If you're a clinician or therapist, you play a critical role in the safety conversation.

Right now, we're losing an average of seven autistic children per month in the U.S. following wandering/elopement, mainly due to drowning.

Children with autism are 160 times more likely to die from drowning than their neurotypical peers (Columbia University, 2017). In 2024, 91% of autism-related wandering deaths were caused by drowning (NAA).

You have the power to start early conversations that educate families about the wandering/water risk, even before a diagnosis.

Be sure to encourage a multi-layered safety approach that includes Home Security, Door/window Alarms, Fencing, Locative Devices, as well as Swimming Lessons and Emergency Plans with neighbors, teachers, and relatives.

Extra hyper-vigilant supervision is crucial, especially during transitions, vacations, outdoor activities, and parties.

Encourage them to use Google Maps to identify nearby bodies of water and remind families: If a child with autism goes missing, call 911 and search nearby water first.

The answer for many with is 'yes.' The Happy Birthday song is one common trigger in our community. Things that most people think are non-threats can absolutely cause a trauma response in those with autism.

Safety Tip: Use Google Maps to identify nearby water. Missing children with autism will often head straight to the closest, most accessible body of water, such as ponds & canals.
