Lakes and pools can be deadly for children with autism. But tailored swim lessons can save lives
Amusement parks, lakes, neighbors’ pools — they are dangers that families of children with autism have long known anecdotally to beware of.
Jessica Lapen discovered this about 10 years ago. She was at a family gathering at her parents’ home when she noticed that her son, Micah, was missing.
“He was 6 or 7,†she recalled. “We knew that he would leave safe areas. We found out that he had gone down the road to a neighbor’s house, and when they saw him, he was climbing the ladder to their above-ground pool.â€
An authoritative study earlier this year put some numbers to the fear. Drowning is the most common fatal injury among children with autism, researchers found. Children with autism age 14 and younger are 160 times as likely to die from drowning as the general pediatric population, with drowning risk peaking from age 5 to 7.
Such cases make headlines many times each summer. Now, researchers are working to understand the risks and how to counteract them — including helping parents and swim instructors teach water safety to autistic children.

Video: Shark Bites Swimmer and Refuses to Let Go
This “Jaws†is a small nurse shark, not a Great White — but its shocking attack evokes horrific scenes from the 1975 flick.
Stomach-churning video shows the predator latched onto the stomach of a terrified Ervin Maccarty, who went swimming off the coast of Marathon, Fla.
“Don’t cut me! Don’t bleed him out on me!†Maccarty yells after climbing onto a boat as a friend – who appears to need a bigger knife – slices away at the shark.
“He didn’t get your penis, did he?†another chum says, trying to inject some gallows humor as Maccarty writhes in pain and blood spurts everywhere.
