TheĀ Handouts

Each Officer will receive:

Identifying Autism is the most important step. Often autistic behaviors can mimic intoxication, drug impairment, evasiveness, or disrespect. This tool will provide several Common Autism Indicators during interpersonal interactions.

Trauma, stress, and anxiety can significantly impact an individual's ability to communicate. This tool will assist your officers in gathering CRITICAL information during an emergency response.

Autistic individuals rarely just "WANDER". Even if they can't communicate it, there is always a goal, destination, or purpose to their behavior. This tool will provide basic and simple questions to begin their search relying on REASON, not LUCK.

The first seconds of an incident involving a missing autistic individual are CRITICAL. Information that is gathered early and communicated efficiently means the difference between LIFE and DEATH. This tool will coach your officers on what to CRITICAL information to gather and communicate first.
