Awareness saves lives. 💙 In the span of just one week, two young autistic children were rescued alive after wandering and being found in water. These outcomes were possible because responding officers knew to search water first—a critical understanding when an autistic child is missing.

At NAA, we continue to raise awareness about wandering and water safety because the risks are real—and preventable.

We are grateful these stories ended in rescue, not tragedy. Let’s keep working together to protect autistic children and support families with empathy, education, and action.

🔗 Learn more about wandering prevention and water safety on NAA's website.
🔗 Links to the stories are in the comments.
