According to research published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, anecdotal reports suggest elopement (or wandering) behavior in children with autism places a major burden on families.
Deputies successfully reunited a child with his parents after the child was found wandering around an Allendale Township apartment complex in the middle of the night.
Around 2 am Saturday morning the Ottawa County Sheriff's office responded to a call about a child that had been found at the Mystic Woods Apartment Complex.
