I hope he located okay, as it seems like this is a common occurrence with this young man. I found the following article from November 2014.

CHICAGO (WLS) --
Quinton Hunt, 15, who has autism, has been located after he was reported missing from North Austin since Sunday morning.

Hunt left his home in the 1500-block of North Linder Avenue around 5 a.m. Sunday and did not return, police said. He had gone missing before and was previously found at O'Hare Airport, in downtown Chicago and in west suburban Oak Park.

After detectives issued the missing person alert, a passenger aboard a Metra SouthWest Service train spotted the boy, officials said. The train was temporarily stopped at the Ashburn station and police took the boy to be reunited with his family.
