Hi everyone,
We are looking for some help concerning our 6 yr. old son with autism. Lately, we have been finding ourselves in very scary situations where he keeps running away at any opportunity he can get. We have figured out that he is running because he wants to explore other people's houses and so he is just running in and out of people's houses very quickly. The problem is he seems to be running further and further away every time, despite our efforts to stop him. We obviously have locks on all our doors and windows but he waits for those brief moments when a window may be unlocked (and I have quickly gone to the bathroom or something) and climbs out. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Or can anyone think of any ideas that may work? We're willing to try anything! Thanks for all your help and support
