Autism and Wandering
Our son Logan is definitely a wanderer. Abby isn’t because she knows she can get into more mischief in familiar surroundings. But Logan has disappeared from us on many occasions. The other day I was just thinking about a time when we lived in Meaford. I had just put the kids to bed and had sat down in the living room (which was on the second floor in that house). I happen to glance out the front window and there was Logan racing down the driveway. The police have had to be called numerous times to track down Logan.
Unfortunately this is something that is common for many families with children with autism. I found this article that may help you understand more about this and possibly find ways to help.
