I have questions. Why, if this boy is 6, is the main pic of him when he was 2? Or is that just a shirt he was wearing, and not related to his actual age? The description of him seems small although the weight is in the broad range of "normal". It seems there are two ponds at the park where he was last seen. Praying he's found safe.

It looks like it might have been added to show a clearer view of his face. Since we now know he’s autistic, maybe he doesn’t like having his picture taken or something and they had to dig to find a clear one? JMO. Just a guess.

Montgomery County Maryland

[...]

Search teams have worked overnight in the search for the child and have deployed drones with the assistance of Maryland National Capital Police – Montgomery County.

Residents in the area are urged to check around their property, including under porches and decks, swimming pools, outbuildings, unlocked cars, and nearby playgrounds. Additionally, please review any home surveillance videos.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Fawzan Hassan is asked to call 911.

Approaching Non-Verbal Autistic Children: Please call 911 right away. When engaging with a non-verbal autistic child, it is important to approach them calmly and slowly. Avoid making sudden movements or loud noises that might startle them. Speak in a gentle, reassuring tone, even if the child does not respond verbally. Non-verbal autistic children might not respond to their name, so try to use other cues, such as visual signals or familiar objects, to get their attention. Most importantly, ensure the child’s safety and wait for police to arrive.

Very worried about those ponds. I hope he is found hiding in a nook or cranny somewhere nearby.

After more than 24 hours searching the area, police in Montgomery County, Maryland, are asking for community help in finding a six-year-old nonverbal, autistic boy who went missing yesterday.

[...]

At a news conference on Sunday afternoon, police said they had completed their search of the park and much of the surrounding area, and asked the local community to continue assistance in finding the child.

[...]

“We’re asking them to search where they live, work and shop, and check those areas that they are familiar with,” police said. “Check the cars in their parking lot, ones that are open, that are unlocked, and take a look inside and see if there’s anyone in there. Because he (Hassan) is also attracted to vehicles.”

The Ethiopian group feels terrible that Fawzan went missing during their picnic. Fawzan is attracted to vehicles. That would have been good if he had been hiding in a vehicle, but it's been too long. The ponds are making me kind of nauseous. I don't know if pediatricians explain to parents of autistic children that they need to teach their children to swim asap, but they should. I hope I'm so very wrong about what I suspect happened.
