And tragically, accidental drownings of those who have wandered account for 91% of deaths in children with Autism under the age of 14. Through our newly released Safety on the Spectrum™ Wandering Resource Guide, the Autism Society offers support families, caregivers, and communities who support individuals who may wander. This guide includes critical resources to increase safety at home and in the community. We hope that the resources can help you, your family, and other trusted caregivers have open discussions about safety and find solutions that meet your family’s needs. Together, we can create a safer world where everyone in the Autism community is connected to the support they need, when they need it.
