After an all-night search, a man with autism who went missing from his school in Yonkers has been found.

Officials say Jose Leon, 20, from Queens, disappeared after leaving the Greenburgh Academy on Shonnard Place Wednesday afternoon.

Police tell News 12 Leon was found at around 4 a.m. Thursday on Palisade Avenue in Dobbs Ferry.

The school's superintendent says there are several schools in the area that hold dismissal at the same time.



He says Leon told him he got confused, ended up walking with the wrong group of students, and then wandered off.

This is not the first time in recent weeks that an autistic Yonkers student went missing. Last month, 17-year-old Gene Warren from the Leake & Watts Residential Treatment Facility and School was found safe a day later at his grandmother's home in the Bronx.

To prevent future incidents, the Greenburg Academy has already implemented new dismissal protocols.
