Summer can be an especially dangerous time for those with Autism as they are often attracted to bodies of water. Consequently, drowning is the number one cause of premature death for individuals with Autism. This is why the County Police and Autism Speaks are hosting an “Autism Night Out” event on July 25 at the Public Safety Training Academy, 9710 Great Seneca Hwy., Rockville from 6 to 9 p.m. for caregivers, parents, loved ones and community members who want to learn more about autism.
