What does 'non-verbal' mean?
Being non-verbal means a person communicates without using spoken language. This can be due to various reasons, including developmental conditions like autism, or specific medical conditions. In Noah's case, being non-verbal might have made it harder for him to respond to calls or communicate distress, which can add complexity to search efforts.
