That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Autism is a neurological condition that affects communication, social skills and behavior. It is estimated that 1.5% of the population in the United States has an autism disorder. At least one in every 50 children has or will develop some form of autism and that number continues to rise. Tuesday at the Floyd County Rescue Squad in Prestonsburg, first responders, healthcare providers and caregivers were given tips for a hands-on approach to autism. Today we are holding an autism awareness training for first responders on how to properly treat, identify and understand persons within the autism spectrum. More than 75 people participated in Tuesday's training. Being able to act appropriately with them can really determine the effectiveness of the encounter, whether it's successful or whether there are problems that we wish we could have remedied after the fact. Drowning accounts for 91% of wandering-related deaths per year. One of the critical things that we need to realize about autism is that at least 50% of the population wanders or runs off or goes places on their own and they can get lost and injured and it's very stressful for the parents who are in fear of their child who has gone missing. After Tuesday's event, more than 100 people in eastern Kentucky have now been trained in autism safety. In Prestonsburg, Shelby Porter, EKB News.
