"Children on the autism spectrum may leave a safe setting where they are supervised if they are overstimulated, said Lori McIlwain, the co-founder of the National Autism Association. In cases like these, some children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may wander off to a “low-sensory area,” such as a body of water, to ease their nerves." [Source: https://bit.ly/3MEmTXl]

If you have a child with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder who tends to wander when overstimulated, ensure their safety by creating a low-sensory area at home. This can help them find comfort and reduce the risk of wandering off to potentially dangerous places like bodies of water.
