IAN Research Report


Preliminary findings from a new study by the Interactive Autism Network (IAN) show that people on the autism spectrum often "wander," "bolt," or "elope" from safe places. The Autism Research Institute, the Autism Science Foundation, Autism Speaks, and the Global Autism Collaboration partnered with IAN to create a national survey on elopement in ASD in response to the need for more information on this topic. These early findings come from 856 parents who had responded to the survey by the time the report was completed.
