James Delorey, 7 Year Old Autistic Boy, Has Passed Away

James Delorey, the 7 year old autistic boy who was lost in snow and cold in Nova Scotia for 2 days has died. He fought a good fight surviving for 2 days in the woods and for several hours after being found. Any parent has some understanding of the terrible loss suffered by his family. Speaking as the father of a severely autistic 13 year old who himself went missing across busy road traffic, but was fortunate to be taken quickly to a safe location by a good person, this story hurts ... a lot. And brings back vivid memories of the terrible fear that I felt on the day my own autistic son went missing.
