ORIGINAL:

Jonathan Flores is a 27-year-old man with autism and he is non-verbal — meaning that he has a very hard time communicating by speaking. He stands five-foot-seven and weighs about 115 pounds.

Miami-Dade police want help finding him after he left his home Tuesday night.

Flores lives in the 6800 block of Northwest 169th Street. He was last seen wearing a white shirt and striped pajama pants.
