Autism Safety

Our little girl has a hard time with understanding dangers. There was a time where she would run from me and we really had to watch as she would run in front of cars, buses etc not understanding the dangers. She could even get out of a stroller she was straped into in mear seconds. I hated going anywhere! I have two children and this often ment my other child was left standing by the stroller as I went running after the littlest one. I got to the point where I didn't not want to go anywhere with out my husbands help.

I worked with Tori we read saftey social stories:

The always talk about where we are going now and I mention the dangers as we come along them. We are now able to be out and about with out my husband. But I must always be watching and reminding her of dangers.

Hope these help.
