The document provides guidance for first responders encountering individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in emergency situations. It describes common characteristics of ASD including poor eye contact, repetitive behaviors, communication problems, and sensitivities. It emphasizes treating the person with dignity, minimizing stress and sensory overload, explaining actions clearly, and involving caregivers familiar with the individual's needs whenever possible. Physical intervention should only be used if absolutely necessary, prioritizing de-escalation instead. Safety of all parties is the top priority.
