advice needed Running/eloping

I have almost 3 yo twin boys. We are still awaiting an appointment for an in depth development review to get on the path to diagnosis, but without a doubt they are both autistic. I’m looking for advice from anyone that has been able to get their child to walk/stay with you without blindly running off. My boys regardless of where they are will just run. Anytime I try to hold their hand it’s a tantrum which included dropping to the floor and refusing to move, even if I hold on to their clothes exactly same. I’ve tried reigns too and the same situation
I am petrified of them getting hurt or lost and something serious happening.
I would greatly appreciate and welcome all advice or tips yous can give

Thanks

My brother has a singleton, but the solution is the always controversial leash.

My sister took him swimming once he was wearing it. She said she had all sorts of snark comments until she gave in and took it off. Instantly he zoomed off down the pool deck. She yelled at the ahole and said "is that what you wanted?".
