The autistic girl may be driving a light-blue Lexus (IS250).

A day after an autistic teen was first reported missing, the Ocean City Police Department is still seeking help Thursday to locate the 16-year-old girl.

Natalie Woollerton was last seen in the early hours of Wednesday morning (Nov. 28).

Woollerton is autistic and may have driven away from her mother's residence on the 1500 block of Central Avenue in her mother's car: a 2009 light-blue four-door Lexus (IS250) with a temporary New Jersey license tag P101925. The vehicle may also have a second license plate: New Jersey SL487K.

She is not believed to have a cell phone or cash, and she has no driving experience. The rear of the vehicle may have damage due to a minor traffic accident.
