I think the thing that surprised me the most was how many people in comment sections (which I should totally stay out of) on new sights who said they had kids on the spectrum who eloped who also didn't get it. I generally expect people without kids on the spectrum to not get it... but there was a lot of "my child elopes and I would never..." out there too, and I think that shocked me the most.

Period. I simply do not care what explanation they have for hateful comments, if they aren't in the position of caring for an ASD child that elopes they don't get it. My daughter was an eloper - not as severe as Maggie but she certainly did it many times. It is astounding how very very quickly a child on the spectrum simply runs - not a wandering off but an instant bolting. In the time it takes to sneeze they can be many yards down the road.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625862236301365474noreply@blogger.com
