Police are seeking the public's help to find a missing non-verbal boy with autism. 

Madison Heights Police said that Johnathan Skattebo has been missing from the area of Parliament and Hales in the city for several hours. He was last seen around 3:30 p.m. 

Johnathan was seen on a ring doorbell walking west on Jenifer towards Park Court, police said around 8 p.m. 

He is described as 4-feet tall, about 65 pounds, wearing a blue and black winter coat and matching boots. 

He likes the cold and likes to hide in cold, dark places. He also likes things that spin. 

Police say they welcome the public to help with the search, but would prefer that searchers drive the neighborhood, not walk, as it is throwing off the scent for K-9 units. 

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 248-585-2100.
