A Salmon Arm youthB次元官网网址檚 knack for breaking world records earned him special attention during Autism Acceptance Month.

In January of this year, Auldin MaxwellB次元官网网址檚 talent for stacking Jenga blocks earned him a world record when he constructed a tower of 693 blocks on a single vertical one.

In addition to getting his name in the Guinness Book of World Records, the Shuswap Middle School student also caught the attention of Hasbro, the company that produces Jenga. The toy and game company sent Auldin 24 packs of their giant Jenga blocks so that he might try breaking another record.

Recently, Auldin did just that. Twice. On March 27, he built a tower of 1,400 regular-sized Jenga blocks on one vertical block. In addition to breaking his own record, Auldin also put those giant blocks to use, building a 500-block tower balanced on a single block, earning him another record title.

Kelly Murray, AuldinB次元官网网址檚 mom, said Guinness World Records recently viewed videos of the construction of both of AuldinB次元官网网址檚 Jenga towers and confirmed both records, noting he also managed to construct a tower with 699 giant blocks, though that effort wasnB次元官网网址檛 documented.

Murray explained watching her son as he builds the towers, and how they have to be readjusted and steadied in the process, can be nerve wracking.

B次元官网网址淗e makes it look easy and has nerves of steel,B次元官网网址� said Murray. B次元官网网址淚 donB次元官网网址檛 know how he remains as calm as he does.B次元官网网址�

In addition to acknowledging Auldin for his record-breaking structures, Guinness World Records also featured him in an April 22 story titled . The second young person was U.S. resident Sanaa Hiremath, who earned a record for largest mental arithmetic multiplication.

In the story, Auldin explains he readies himself for each record-breaking attempt by B次元官网网址渕entally preparing (with) an enjoyable activity like riding my unicycle or playing basketball with my stepdad.B次元官网网址�

During the stacking process, he enjoys listening to music, noting it helps him concentrate and makes the time pass.

B次元官网网址淢y favourite song to listen to while stacking is B次元官网网址楳aple Leaf RagB次元官网网址� by Scott Joplin from 1899. Because I am on the autism spectrum, I like listening to it over and over and it stays on repeat,B次元官网网址� Auldin comments in the article.

Murray said Auldin was honoured to be in the story, and the two were impressed with the result.

B次元官网网址淎uldin is never shy to speak about the fact that heB次元官网网址檚 autistic because he does feel that his stacking ability is related to being on the spectrum,B次元官网网址� said Murray. B次元官网网址淎nd heB次元官网网址檚 very proud that heB次元官网网址檚 autistic. He does look at it as a gift and not a hindrance in any way.B次元官网网址�

Not one to rest on his laurels, Auldin is interested in pursuing other record-making and breaking opportunities, not necessarily involving Jenga blocks.

B次元官网网址淭here are thousands of records you can attempt to challenge, so heB次元官网网址檚 going to be researching and looking at anything that involves stacking or balancing to see what he thinks heB次元官网网址檚 capable of B次元官网网址� Jenga blocks aside.B次元官网网址�
