Boy swimming in fountain area

[Rick V]

Was curious what the deal was with the boy who decided to take a swim in the fountain area of the park. Anyone know what happened. Where were his parents?

Hi! He's a child with autism. While I don't know this situation, I do know that kids with autism find water very calming when they are in sensory overload.

It isn't hilarious or something to joke about, it was someone who was potentially endangered. It's really easy for autistic kids to sneak away.

Disney CMs and his parents were able to get him out safely and thankfully he is okay!

Doesn't seem like too big a deal to me...no matter the circumstances. Alls well...

Thanks for letting us know. Something to be aware of for sure!
