Topher Wurts' son has autism, which leads him to be extra aware of everything around them when they go out of their comfort zone, always scanning the landscape, wherever they are. For example, at a new park, while others are relaxing, he’s eyeing the fence line, looking for gaps or open gates. This is due to the fact that his son, Kirby, tends to run away, as many autistic kids do, due to their lack of general awareness of the danger involved with not being with a parent or guardian.
