MELBOURNE: An autistic teen lost for two days in Australian bushland was reunited with his family on Wednesday (Jun 10), after a hundreds-strong volunteer search that involved using Vegemite and the Thomas the Tank Engine theme tune.

Will Callaghan, a teen with non-verbal autism, became separated from his family on the summit of Mount Disappointment near Melbourne on Monday, but was found by a volunteer after spending two nights exposed to freezing temperatures.
