15-year-old Alexander Murrell has been missing from his Burlington (Canada) home since September 15th; police are calling for the public’s help in finding him. According to an article in today’s AM900CHML.com,
Police say he has the mental capacity of a 6-year old and sometimes pretends to be a reporter or financial advisor.
He is white, 6-feet tall, 240 pounds with short brown hair and may be wearing glasses.
I have lost track of how many similar stories of autistic children who have gone missing I have noted over the past few months.
I hope Alexander is found soon—five days is a long time to be missing and unaccounted for.
It looks like he was found a few days later.

Yes, this child was—-these stories appear in the news with some frequency, unfortunately.
