This research highlight explores elopement in autism, including what it is, why it happens, and why it remains one of the most significant safety concerns many families navigate. Research shows that elopement often reflects a need rather than defiance, and understanding the reasons behind it can help families and communities respond more safely and effectively.
From public spaces to everyday routines, small, informed supports can make a meaningful difference in helping autistic children and youth participate more safely in their communities.

For some, it’s when the story shifts from survival to thriving.
For others, it’s removing barriers, finding belonging, or creating spaces where people can truly be themselves.
This World Autism Day, we asked members of Autism Ontario’s Board of Directors what makes them celebrate the spectrum and what makes autism matter.
Their reflections are a reminder that inclusion is built through real experiences, shared voices, and a commitment to creating communities where autistic people and their families can thrive.
We hope you feel inspired by the messages shared and take a moment to reflect on what makes autism matter to you, and how you celebrate the spectrum.
