@autism.dadcast: Autistic children are 160 times more likely to drown. That is not a typo. A 2017 US death certificate study put it at 160 times the general childhood rate. Andy and I both had to read it twice. It is water every time. If you are wondering why every autism parent goes cold when a child goes missing near water, that is why.
hi, dad to a nearly 7 year old autistic daughter i started swimming lessons for her since she was 4 years old and she thrives in the water and knows how to swim now and I urge all parents who have autism or similar disabilities to get them swimming

my kid does "hydrotherapy" at school. I'm so glad he got into that school as they're amazing, they asked if it's ok to do so and I said yes because I was a lifeguard years ago and still love to swim. He's phenomenal in the water
