There are many different types of trackers you can use to monitor your loved one with autism and your choice should be based on their specific needs. That said, there are some trackers that are designed specifically with individuals with autism that address unique challenges that come up for them. For example, since wandering can happen any time, any place, you are best off with a tracker that sends proactive alerts to tell you when your loved one is on the move, especially to somewhere new or out of their normal routine. Another factor is the design of the tracker – for many individuals with autism, sensory sensitivities can make large, bulky trackers less appealing. Something small and sleek that can be easily attached without bothering them is something to look for. Other factors to consider include functionality, features, and battery life.

There are two terms necessary to understanding why autistic children wander. “Wandering” normally refers to a semi-conscious action by a person who doesn’t understand that they are about to get lost. “Elopement”, on the other hand, is a conscious act with the purpose of running toward something. The reason why elopement happens is, scientists have found, because of an unmet need. The need can be positive, such as curiosity about something new, or negative, such as getting away from something that’s bothering them. You can learn more about autistic elopement and how to prevent it here.
Yes, autistic adults can wander. While the behavior is more common in children, autistic adults, especially those with level 2 or 3 autism, can and do wander or elope. The reasons for autistic adults wandering are the same as those for children. They can have a positive unmet need, such as curiosity about something or somewhere, or they can have a negative unmet need, such as a triggering noise or event that they need to get away from.
