Autism Safety

Autism safety involves understanding and supporting individuals on the spectrum to prevent harm and ensure well-being. This includes being aware of their unique needs, such as sensory sensitivities or difficulty communicating distress, and creating a safe environment. Strategies may involve supervised activities, securing dangerous items, using identification like bracelets, and teaching self-advocacy skills. It's also important to recognize signs of stress or overwhelm and respond calmly. Overall, autism safety emphasizes understanding, proactive planning, and respectful support to help individuals stay safe while respecting their independence.
