Autism Safety Project

New! Autism Speaks is proud to partner with the National Autism Association to fund the creation of Big Red Safety Boxes, valuable tools and resources that help prevent dangerous situations for individuals with autism and their families. Click here to learn more!

Safety is a critical part of all of our lives, whether we are at home or out in the community, alone or with loved ones. Being aware of our surroundings and taking precautions to stay safe is even more important for individuals with autism and their families. The Autism Safety Project is designed to provide families affected by autism with tips, information, expert advice and resources so that everyone in our community can stay out of harm's way.

The safety portal is broken down into sections to provide comprehensive and effective information regarding safety in all areas of our lives:

Safety in the Community
Safety in the Home
Sexual Abuse
Information for First Responders
Safety Resources
