A 17-year-old boy named William, who has Level 2 autism, was found alive after six days lost in the Australian bushland near Walhalla East, about 180 kilometers east of Melbourne. He had left his phone, food, and water behind at the campsite. A police helicopter found him sleeping on a rock beside a creek. William was in good spirits and mostly in good health, with only minor scratches. He was taken to a hospital for monitoring. His mother, Elizabeth, expressed relief and said he would be grounded for life.
