Life Journey through Autism: A Guide to Safety
Ziegert, Amanda
Organization for Autism Research
No parental instinct is as intense and fundamental as protecting one's child from harm. For parents of children with autism, safety risks become magnified because of challenges resulting from fixations with narrow interests, limited situational awareness, and sensory and communication issues. So why should parents expect to do it all alone? We wrote "A Guide to Safety" with a lot of help from parents, first responders, educators, and community members, who shared their strategies and resources to address safety threats that commonly arise during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. This autism safety resource will educate parents about how to prevent and mitigate emergency events, safety threats that may affect their child in the future, and how to teach safety habits that will build a foundation for safety in adulthood. [Contributing writers were Dwight Good, Deborah Hammer, Scott Lillard, and Colin Weiss.
