That’s a pretty fricked up thing to say.

They were walking by a lake.
Autistic kids are attracted to water.
This will not have a good outcome.

You don’t think they’ve dragged that lake by now?

You have an autistic kid that is running out of sight around a lake with acres of woods nearby and is non-verbal. You would think the father would be a bit more "fatherly" and when he got close to being out of sight. He would have ran to catch up.
It's plausible that there isn't anything bad at play other than poor parenting skills.
I don't disagree with this at all. Just think it's in poor taste to crack jokes about a situation where a 6yo kid is missing and possibly dead.

Is your daughter non-verbal and autistic? I have experience with a child like this, and it's highly unlikely that her parents would let her out of their sight in a scenario like this.

99.9% chance the child is deceased.
90% chance his dad is involved. The only was he accidentally died would be drowning. And they would have found the body by now.
Also, he made the statement that "I have a hard time going to sleep in my bed when my son might be lying down in the woods"
Might be?
Might?
That is a strange term for a nonverbal 6 year old lost in the woods. He is not renting a room at a hotel. He is not hiding from authorities. He is not working with other kids or adults.
I am now convinced the dad is involved.

You clearly don't have experience with non-verbal autistic kids, there is no such thing as "shouting them back" They do not respond to verbal commands, hence "non-verbal"
I 100% think there is more to this and seriously believe the father is involved and knows more than he is telling.
He's raised a non-verbal autistic son for 6 years, NO WAY he lets that child out of his sight, ESPECIALLY near water.

My 5 y/o child is mildly autistic and is very common with these kids, very prone to follow his spontaneous thoughts with no regard to danger. He will and has walked right into a pool and pond with no thought of his safety. You have no idea how taxing and how much attention these kids require. In the blink of an eye when your attention is elsewhere he can be gone. My and every other parent of an autistic child heart breaks for this family, because except for the grace of God it could be me.

Oh my God. I agree that the dad probably did it. However, for you to act like an expert on non-verbal people and non verbal communication is exaggerated. The child being non-verbal means he cannot speak but can possibly express himself in other ways, such as sign language. He should absolutely respond to commands unless he's being stubborn like kids can be. At least Google it before you want to act like an expert on something.

If he was taken he’d probably be at a motel or something.

Hate to say it but the dad was wY too calm in my opinion when I saw this last night.
Posted on 9/26/18 at 12:08 pm to TexasTiger1984
Terrible

My son is also 6 and has high functioning autism. He also has a tendency to run off without a care or thought about it. Knowing this, I always keep my eye on him and never let him out of my sight if we are walking somewhere together.
I do not believe the father. He seemed rather unaffected by what happened. His reaction seemed odd to me.

Right, except for the fact that my nephew is a 5 year old non-verbal autistic child. I have spent many days with him, family vacations, Sunday lunch, ball games...wait, I don't have to justify my knowledge to you.

This is right here proves you don't know shite, crawl back into your cave, internet a-hole.

Look...if your nephew doesn't respond to commands that may be his spectrum classification or maybe its another issue that causes that. My wife taught Life Skills for 9 years and I would visit her at lunch and play with the kids at least once a week. Most of her student were Autistic and all of them are non-verbal. Some of them could sign and some couldn't. Some could point and ask for things with grunts or gestures (still communicating but non-verbal.
Not all of them could do this but most could in some form or fashion.
My point was, as you pointed out, that you have a limited grasp of what non-verbal Autistic people are capable of. Autism is a widely diverse disability that affects different people in different ways. So if you want to be an expert that's fine...just don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.
