Some autistic children are non-verbal which can make them hard to find if they go missing.

Great work by Volusia County Sheriffs. Their timely action saved the boy's life. I believe that the parents would be much more cautious now.

The boy showed good survival instincts too holding onto a log, as he easily could have drowned otherwise.
