Riassunto:

Safeguarding Your Child with Autism focuses on preventing unintentional injuries to children, teens, and young adults with autism. The book explains that there is a much higher rate of preventable injuries to people with autism compared to their typically developing peers. Deficits in communication and comprehension, as well as certain dangerous behaviors and fixations can have devastating consequences. The authors, experts on autism, offer ways to reduce hazards and teach skills to help people with autism negotiate the world safely. Special attention is given to monitoring and preventing elopement and wandering tendencies, which create very dangerous, unsupervised environments that can lead to unintentional injuries.
