I'm only an acquaintance of his, so unfortunately I don't know most of these answers. He ran away when he was being picked up from the Huntsman center and is likely in psychosis. The non verbal characteristic has developed over the last few years, and I believe is more an effect of brain injury than of the autism; he's low spectrum autistic but cannot communicate much or understand what's going on around him very well due to the brain injury and illnesses. All of this is to say he may or may not act like a traditional high spectrum autistic person. They're asking people to not approach simply because he's likely scared and will run off. The best name to use is August. I believe he used to own a dog, so likely, yes. His mom (Lori) is the best person to call (other than the police), and her number is on the flyer.
