Natalie Armstrong<\/p>\n

Natalie Armstrong\u2019s mom, Megan Bernhardt, is worried sick. Her 13-year-old daughter has been missing since Wednesday night, and she\u2019s desperate to find her.<\/p>\n

Bernhardt and Armstrong live together in an apartment near the Lake Highlands DART Station, which is where the girl was last seen according to Dallas police. They are asking for help finding the girl, especially since she has autism and is considered an \u201cendangered person\u201d who \u201cmay be in need of assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s on the spectrum but high functioning,\u201d Bernhardt told WFAA-TV<\/a>, and she worries that her daughter could put herself in danger without realizing it. \u201cShe was feeling anxious\u201d about school evaluations scheduled for Thursday morning \u201cand just ended up taking off from home. I wasn\u2019t able to catch her in time and stop her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bernhardt says she has previously boarded the DART train, which is a short walk from their home on Whistle Stop Place at the Lake Highlands Town Center near Skillman and Walnut Hill, but she has never stayed gone for this long.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe doesn\u2019t always have those same sort of fears or concerns in making those choices,\u201d she said, expressing worry that her daughter might voluntarily get into a vehicle with a stranger.<\/p>\n

Bernhardt has begun working with Alfonso Solis<\/a>, a volunteer tracker with Send Me DFW<\/a>. Solis\u2019 experience tells him spreading the word and sharing Armstrong\u2019s photo could make a difference in finding her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best thing to do is look outside your window and see if you see her,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I can get 50,000 people to just look outside their window and see if they see a little girl by herself, it could be her. If it is, don\u2019t approach her. Call the police. Let us know. We\u2019ll do the rest,\u201d Solis urged.<\/p>\n

Armstrong is 5-foot-2 and 135 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing a dark gray hoodie, black tee, baggy blue jeans and white Converse high tops. Tips may be shared with Dallas police at 911 or 214-671-4268, case number 155505-2026.<\/p>\n
