A 14-year-old autistic boy who disappeared Tuesday afternoon was found late Wednesday night at the Simmons College campus.

Jeffrey Cooper was last seen Tuesday going to an after-school program in Central Square in East Boston.

Late Wednesday night, Boston Police were called by Simmons College Police to an area near 255 Brookline Ave. and were able to identify the youth.
The youth was checked out at Boston Children's Hospital and was found to be in good health, said Officer James Kenneally, a police spokesman. Police didn't say where Cooper had spent a rainy, cold Tuesday night.
