I think he's mentally ill, but I hardly see that as a dismissal. He has created an incredible work that I previously would not have thought possible to create with human hands.

But what he has traded for this ... not normal, nowhere near. (Of course, one cannot be both great and normal)

So do you consider "somewhere on the autism spectrum" to be a mental illness? Or perhaps an ability?

Wow! Just wow! The detail. He painted it in Air India livery! Boeing should buy it off him to display. I wonder just how many Manila folders it took. He must really protect it. Could you imagine him bumping into it by accident? I saw the video on the cockpit seats. He designs the parts in some CAD CAM software then cuts and assembles.... Amazing!

This is what he has to say on his video...
