Some of his poems have been published by the International Library of Poetry. He is a honored student in school. In 2002, he has won the prestigious international Yes I Can! award in academics. He "said" after the award ceremony in New York "you will see what an autistic boy can do when I win the Pulizer award!".
A Young Talented Autistic Boy And Poet
I was the one that heard the call
and accepted my fate with no concern for my safety
I rode in my steel guardian to my final destination
When I heard the news, my heart sank to the Earth
People had died; a plane had plunged into the towering giant
I rush to the party with great speed
I didn¡¯t realize I wouldn¡¯t go home
I miss my family but I would not go back
You see, I was a firefighter
Please remember my name.
