It is easy to see why many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are captivated by water. The number of stimuli associated with water hits all the senses! The feel of water, the sounds of waves and splashes, the visuals of light reflecting off the surface, and even the smell can all be so enticing. Of course, these reasons are also why children with autism who struggle with sensory challenges hesitate to touch water at all. Water is soothing to most children with autism but can be overstimulating to others. Regardless, this knowledge is important: Drowning is a leading cause of death in children with autism
Water provides multiple stimulation’s
Think about what you experience in pool water or the ocean. The surface of the water sparkles in a pool, and ocean waves create foam against a beach. The smell of chlorine or saltwater is obvious, and visuals are distorted as you look into the water. Now put yourself in your child’s shoes and consider how happy they are with their favorite weighted blanket or textile toy. The water offers everything they gain from those stimuli and more.
The sensory experience is magnetic
Autism affects how the brain processes sensory information, and it is common to see children with autism seeking stimulation in different ways. Rocking, flapping, and even self-harm are all commonly associated with autism. The goal is to activate whichever sensory experience is most appealing to the individual, but what is so special about the water? Children with autism have difficulties connecting different stimuli to the same experience, making water very exciting. There are so many switches in the brain being activated simultaneously, that it’s no wonder children with autism are fascinated.
So how do you ensure that your child with autism is safe around water? There are precautions that you can take, teach water safety to making sure your swimming pool is fenced and the gate is locked.
The discussion of water safety should happen with every child, but because of the unique experience a child with autism may have in and near water, ensuring their safety is a summer must. There are even swim classes specially designed for children with autism.

Our son Ian is a high-functioning person with autism, and taking care of him and watching him mature has been part of my life’s work.
He is now 33, and still happily lives at home. He has been successful in school, having graduated from a community college in Connecticut, and at work.
Our family’s first idyllic summer vacation spot was Cape Cod, Mass. It was the site of growth and maturity for Ian. Cape Cod was where Ian perfected his love of gross motor sports such as walking, swimming and biking; and his love of travel and exploring.
One of my favorite photos of Ian, framed on top of our entertainment center here in Florida, is a photo of him that I took in Cape Cod. He is standing barefoot on a breakwater near our resort in Dennis port. Wearing shorts and a green polo shirt, Ian is peering down at the water, which is at near-high tide, the water almost lapping at his feet. What is this 7-year-old looking at? What is going through his mind? Part of being a parent is not being able to answer all the questions that come rushing to our minds.
“The experience of going to Cape Cod was awesome,” said Ian. “We got to eat some outstanding food and we enjoyed various outdoor activities, such as biking, hiking and swimming in Nantucket Sound, the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Cod Bay and kettle ponds.”
For Ian, traveling and eating in new places have been an important part of his life. And his parents’ lives too.

Diagnosis
One of the reasons it seems like everyone is autistic these days is that kids are getting diagnosed earlier and earlier. Part of this is because there has been a massive push in the last few years for “early autism diagnosis”. You want to get your child diagnosed as early as you possibly can. Basically,
Understanding
Is he high or low functioning?” It happens almost every time without fail. I’m talking to a mom at the park or a grocery store clerk. I mention that A-Man is autistic because it naturally fits the conversation, and immediately the question comes. “High or low functioning?” What an odd question to ask a stranger.
Behavior
What is autism? And what is just behavior? How do I know where the line is between accepting my autistic child as they are, while not letting them do whatever they want just because they’re autistic? Where exactly is the line between the behavior that kids do—because spoiler alert kids misbehave—and the behavior that’s directly
