Will a Medical Diagnostic Code for Elopement Protect Those at Risk?

By Nicole Simpson | Published: March 24, 2011

A common misperception of elopement is that it is caused by parental negligence and that parents need to keep a closer watch on their children. On the contrary, parents of individuals with autism are often extremely vigilant and take extraordinary measures to keep their child safe.
