I noticed children who are autistic run and don't look back and will continue to run. The children who aren't autistic will look back every now and then to make sure you're chasing them and if you're not they will stop.
It's the opposite for my grandson. He is severely Autistic and nonverbal. He does look back.He wants to be chased. Like a game of chase.He laughs while he runs. If we stop chasing him, he might not run. But since he has no sense of danger, we have to chase him.
So I still didn’t learn how to refrain my kid to run in front of a vehicle when we get out of a store or a building. A GPS wouldn’t stop a car crash when I’m busy with my other toddler and carrying groceries.
That part! I don't think even the specialist or the ppl that make this kind of video understand how dangerous this is especially when you have other children!!😢
we made it ourselves! We have an extensive video library on our Goally Tablet which teach life skills in fun, interactive lessons. From how to cross the street, to how to make cereal! @@mawmoshful
@MrNikkishandbag You are right a GPS would not stop your child. They run because they were probably overwhelmed in the store and can’t wait to leave. Perhaps shorter durations and watch for sign of overload starting to happen and leave before complete overload.
I will tell you why I ran away a few times like 5 or 6 times due to my disability and anxiety it’s because it’s hard for me and other with a neuro disability to talk about what we need I can walk well but I don’t trust people and for me my disability cause me to feel anxious when it crowded or overwhelming so I run away because it’s easier then saying what I need because I find sadly a lot of teachers and caregivers don’t even care about what we need like for example when I was at the day camp for special needs I feel so bored and they didn’t have anything to make use feel happy so I just decided to walk away I did get in trouble and now I don’t regret if I had to break a widow to get out of there I would do it in a heat beat
I did this ALL the time as a kid, yet wasn’t diagnosed until 35 😅 I even packed a suitcase. Also, I would say feeling ignored and running away to see if people care is also a reason. I often went unnoticed. I also did like to escape into nature which was more quiet and accepting. Bullying is a huge issue (at home and school). Feeling misunderstand is a big reason.
I am autistic and studying elopement. Preliminary results show there is always a reason, and simply trying to stop the behaviour actually puts autistic people at additional risk of meltdown, shutdown, and not being able to leave. We need to teach safe elopement, instead of eliminating elopement.
Thanks for the video! I’m an autistic adult and sometimes still have a habit of wandering, I think it’s just in our nature to gravitate towards what we like. I was late diagnosed so these videos are very helpful with some of the basics! Thanks!
Ouch. Ok. Your video asked for feedback and I gave my thoughts. I did expect to see examples of how to thwart eloping and didn’t. I didn’t find the video helpful because I already knew what eloping was. I know there’s others who may not know and come across this video and it will be helpful to them but once they learn what it is they’ll need to know how to approach correcting the problematic behavior. The guy at the end of the video literally asked because they want to improve videos. Take care
@@heythatwasawkward yes, and thanks for letting them know I am looking for that information because my 3 year old son runs away and never comes back. I need to know how to teach him
@@heythatwasawkwardI agree with you, @GoallyApps response was incredibly rude especially after they asked for feedback. I hope whoever is monitoring this account corrects the staff person who responded in this dismissive way. I too clicked on this video to get information about preventing eloping. Why else would we all have done a TH-cam search for this topic? 😒
A autistic kid is always safe with parents because dealing with it for so many years we know that safety measures but what to do when kid elopes from school or center alone and how can this behaviour reduce??please guide
We have a playlist of product reviews where we have tech made specifically for elopers! Check one of those out here: th-cam.com/video/lXWo6j6YN2U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xiJwvuSjAD6LJXA5
Can elopment stop as they get older? My son 3yo run away when we dont know the door is open, turns out he's at the park near our house. Thats very scary 😢
My grandson is 8 years old and has told us he wants to run away. He tried to open his mom's car door while driving. Would a child be affected going between homes on a weekly basis? The school said he shows signs of autism.
It sounds like the transition from one place to the other could be what's causing some emotional irregulation! We aren't the pros, but new environments and switching between things can be a very tough thing for kiddos to embrace!
Thank you for your information explaining what eloping means and how common it is for those on the spectrum. My child on the spectrum did a little eloping but I knew especially that if my child was injured in any way she would run away from us. Even now at 14 this has been a worrying issue although not as often.
Not helpful at all. My child is severely Autistic and nonverbal. He elopes for non of those reasons you said. He does it because he thinks its fun. He wants to be chased. He's laughing and looking back as he runs. Since he doesn't understand danger, we have to chase him. If we didnt chase him he might stop. But we can't risk not chasing him.
Thanks for sharing, kids elope for a lot of different reasons and that's why it's important to understand the individual! Seems like you've got it all figured out, but if you want to dive deeper into it we share more information in the blog post linked in the description.

Interesting take! Thank you for sharing with us :) elopement comes in many forms!
Yea that does work sometimes. But consistent safety training is so important.

Tards tend to do retarded stuff
AuDHD kids.
So I still didn’t learn how to refrain my kid to run in front of a vehicle when we get out of a store or a building. A GPS wouldn’t stop a car crash when I’m busy with my other toddler and carrying groceries.
We have fun video courses on Goally that help teach the importance of safety while crossing streets and more!!

My question is totally different from the topic, please how do one engage an autistic child in an online zoom class?

Thank you for sharing with us!! There are lots of reasons out there for elopement and we hope you've been able to find some resources to help!!
Yes, there is always a reason.

I was expecting to see ways to prevent eloping
Sounds like a good google search right there!

@@GoallyApps” what are we missing? We always want to do better “ literally what the guy says.

If you read the blog post you'll see there's tips for eloping children!

AuDHD here, I like to run to get energy out. Sounds like he is an AuDHDer too! ❤
Didn't really teach how to stoontgen from runs ng. Useless video - selling product.
We go deeper into it in our blog posted linked in the description

fly?
I do not like that you use the phrase elopement for kids running away.
Why's that? Check the blog post - this is a common phrased used for this getgoally.com/blog/neurodiversopedia/what-is-elopement/
That’s what they call it at schools.
@@alleycat616 yea its like the main term used to describe this behavior. 'running away' sounds worse in my opinion!
