A description of 1960s France in a book I'm reading: "Tonsils, chickenpox, measles, flu, bronchitis, and all the other mundane afflictions occupy the doctors, along with the births and deaths that march through the years everywhere." Quaint.

I pray that God protects this man from harm because he is not able to recognize danger or to be able to protect himself from predators.

Posted to FB also. I hope they find this boy/man. He looks like how my Riley looks, no one knows he has autism until they speak to him or see him stim. My son looks like an NT kid.
Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
