He is also most proud of his statistical prediction of the FSU Football team's 2020 season, he says. 'I want the world to know that autism doesn't define stupidity,' he says.

    - ssesha, CNN iReport producer

    Hi, my name is Michael Fluhart. I am 22 years old and I have Autism. What makes my Autism different is that I like to be creative. I like writing stories and inventing new things in life. I enjoy meeting new people every day, talking to them, and getting to know them. A lot of the time we become new friends on facebook. I try to make new friends ever day.
    When I am alone I like to rock my body back and forth. Often it is in a rocking chair or on a chair or bench. Every time I listen to music I like to rock, to me it helps me to feel happy and excited. I love most kinds of music. I also love to do handstands. I enjoy walking on my hands, and I can do a lot of handstand vertical pushups and do other cool tricks on my hands to entertain people. I am a very outgoing person with everyone at all ages. The last thing I would like to say is I am a great person and I love my life.
