In light of recent drowning deaths of autistic children who had wandered away, I feel compelled to share this article from the Child Mind Institute. Nicholas tended to wander off. He has gotten better Elena will flat out wander away if we are not constantly aware of her whereabouts. We barricade our door nightly, just in case she gets up in the middle of the night and decides it might be fun to go outside. As she gets older, and we address these issues in therapy, we hope we can no longer concern ourselves with this. In the meantime, awareness is all that we ask.
