#SearchWaterFirst: Our hearts are heavy this morning after an 8-year-old with autism wandered away from her aunt's home and into a nearby pond. In 2025, six children with autism have died after wandering/elopement, all but one from drowning. This is also the 9th autism-wandering fatality in Texas since 2024. Most families, including relatives, are not aware wandering can occur, or of the heightened drowning risk for children with autism. Please take action & share #wanderingprevention resources at https://lnkd.in/erfYtBZJ https://lnkd.in/e-_QCEbq

#SearchWaterFirst: Another incredible rescue of a nonspeaking child with autism! Kudos to this Connecticut agency for their quick response. Remember that if a child or adult with #autism is ever missing, always search nearby water first. https://lnkd.in/eGesd3v2

"Despite the father's best efforts to child-proof the door locks so that his son couldn't wander off, he woke up later that night and was shocked to find him missing." Several months ago, a child with autism died of hypothermia after wandering away. Bravo to these officers, and the person who took action to make the call. #autism https://lnkd.in/e-qVc4EZ

Grateful for this outcome & for these officers out of Clayton, NC. In 2025, five children with autism have died after wandering/eloping from safe supervision. As weather continues to warm up, it's important to share #WanderingPrevention resources and to always #SearchWaterFirst. Tools & tips available at https://lnkd.in/erfYtBZJ

Devastating on so many levels. Families will often move to other states to seek better services. Oftentimes, they are unaware that wandering/elopement risks can increase after a new move, or that elopement patterns can change. Our hearts go out to this beautiful family.
