Hey my name is Rachel and iam a 17 year old girl and iam babysitting this child who's autistic and he left the house today without telling me what should I do if he does it again?
Waza answered Monday April 24 2006, 3:20 pm: thats kinda a hard thing to explain to autistic kids that doing something is bad hmm try showing him/her the area in which the child left and point to it say its bad and that u should not go near there...
i know that might not be good advice but thats all i really can think of sorry bout that

hope it helps!

By the way, try to put a good title for your question and try not putting "I need advice" because it is easier for people to help you if they know what the topic is about.

If he leaves anyway, and you can't pick him up and carry him back in then you need to discuss this with his parents, they have probably experienced this too and should be able to help.

Let them know whats going on, and what you shoud do to keep him safe and let him know walking off isn't what he should do.
His parents will know him best, and should know how to handle the situation in a way that wont make him lose his emotions.
