Thank you, sweetmiffy, adeypa & mrcaddie!
MC, my son once drifted from his teacher's aide at school and almost ran in front of a bus. He's homeschooled now....but wandering is something that autistic children will do.
Anyone with autistic children have to be very watchful...especially where there is water around. I'm so glad my son is a really good swimmer...but it's a danger!
