I was killing time and reading Norm Ornstein’s twitter feed when I came across this tweet he’d retweeted:

My apologies for title confusion. This is what happens when you edit one part of it for clarity and didn’t notice that it now makes another part confusing!

My sister in law works with a lot of homeless in New Orleans just out side of the Quarter so I sent her a link to the Tweet.

Poor guy. He’s probably terrified. I hope someone kind finds him and notifies the proper authorities. His relatives must be beside themselves.

@ET: Thanks!

@SiubhanDuinne: this is my cousin, his parents and our entire family is worried sick about him.
Sherri

Damn.
Autistic people with high needs wander away a fair amount. This fellow may not realize he is lost.
I hope he is found, and found safe and sound. His poor family.

@Adam L Silverman: I forgot to add that I sent it to my brother as well though I don’t know that he spends as much time working with them as his ex does. However, both/either of them likely also passed it along to others as well.
