I have an autistic son who is now almost 13 yrs old (where have the years gone-- can't believe it). Anyway, when he was about 4 yrs old, he somehow got out of the house, which was a challenge since we literally locked ourselves in the house. He was only gone about 5 minutes before we noticed, but enough time for him to escape. We literally were running round in circles and calling neighbors to help find him. Almost out of the blue, a man rounds the corner of our subdivision holding my sons hand and my son was non-verbal at the time, so my son could not have told him where he lived. To this day, we call that anonimous man his guardian angel.



Very traumatic and scary, I know cause I've been there.
