I have a runner who hits the door multiple times in an hour. Usually we catch her but my classroom has 3 doors and she's fast. She knows how to escape from my "locked campus" and has made it to the street twice. Shes a 5 year old with autism and she moves like a cat.

I'm a new teacher and this really freaked me out. Administration acts as if this is no big deal and are upset with me as I try to make sure I'm not liable for harm that may come to her.

Is this normal? Is it common to have severely disabled students who escape the campus?
