Trampoline Boy, Autism

Trent: Trampoline Artist

Thu 9 Jan 2020

Trent was born in 1997 in Kansas and was diagnosed with Autism at the age of two. According to his parents Andrea and Corey, Trent began to draw as soon as he could hold a pen. For years he drew on the walls of their home. Even when drawing upside down, Trent achieves perfect perspective. One day, in July 2016, Trent began to draw on the family's backyard trampoline. His parents were there to record his images of elephants, hippos, lions and other creatures. The video has been seen by thousands of people around the world.

Down became up. Dim became bright. Gloom became glad.

If they knew me a little better, they would see that I'm not that different.

We are each given more of some things and less of others.

I wish I could see what you see up there in that blue, blue sky.
