I wonder...did anyone actually see him outside?
could he maybe... I hope... Have found a new (for him) secret place to hide inside his grandma's home?

This happened in my neighborhood several years ago. The little girl was also autistic and visiting her grandparents for Christmas. She was about 6 but had recently been adopted from another country and it was her first trip to the area. LE went up and down the street asking to be allowed to search every home while other groups walked the creek and woods on both sides of the street. About 20 hours later she was found sleeping in an old hope chest in the basement. It turned out that travel was very difficult for her and her doctor had ordered something to help her rest during the long drive and it certainly did its job.

I have a lot of faith in the searchers. I lived in VA before moving to SC and was a volunteer in the search for Robbie Wood. He's also an autistic boy who wandered off from his father in a state park. By the time our group went out to search, many people were quietly acknowledging we were probably not going to find the little boy alive. He had been gone six days and I believe it was winter - it was awfully cold. The group that searched immediately after us and one grid section over found him. If I recall correctly, he was mildly hypothermic but overall in pretty good shape. The searchers were incredibly skilled and even gave us some brief training on how to approach Robbie if we found him, as his autism also caused concerns that he may not respond or may even be afraid of searchers. I'm praying Jayden's story has a happy ending too!
thanks, Vasportsmom...
this gives me hope...
Do they have dogs looking for him yet?
The autistic child of a neighbor went missing at a holiday gathering a few years back. He was terrified of the searchers (they had spotlights out all night, helicopters overhead, etc.) and hid himself -- which turned out to be what saved him, because he hid in a deep pile of leaves and fallen pine needles and that kept him warm through two very cold nights.
I know what happens on the scanner thread can't be brought up here, so I can't give you a detailed answer. But I think I'm within the rules to say the searchers appear to be doing everything that should be done, and they are very much searching for a living Jaden.
According to officials, Jayden is described as a black male, last seen wearing red and orange pajamas with guitars. The pictured pajamas belong to Jayden's twin brother. Jayden stands four-feet-tall, 40 pounds and bald, officials said. Horry County Police said Jayden had a pacifier with a pink ribbon on it.
The American Red Cross is providing refreshments and food for the search and the best way the community can help is to keep looking. Officials are asking people to check places where he could be hiding such as cars and sheds.
