What Safety Costs A Family Living With Severe Autism

Send us Fan MailWe talk through what happens when severe autism elopement becomes so constant that we start padlocking gates and doors, then realize those same locks can trap us when seconds matter. I share the fear, the guilt, the dark humor, and the safety steps that finally make our days a little more survivable. • padlocking after repeated escapes • the moment he scales the fence and I cannot get out • how elopement forces impossible split-second choices • how our long-term work and caregiving plan collapses  • desperation searches for safety tools and finding AngelSense GPS tracking • a woods search when he disappears • his running routes • the spiraling parent guilt story and the reminder that it is not you • first day of school stress and the constant baseline of aggression • a surprising improvement with arm biting and a rare proud moment • a full clear sentence during bedtime chaos • the workaround that makes walks calmer • noticing better focus and speech attempts with vitamin C and B complex • the local emergency box and special needs stickers for responders • building familiarity with police and fire so crises go safer And please remember, you can always buy me a coffee for as little as one dollar.
