Hello there!

I'm Daniel (also The Autistic Yoyo Man)

​I was born in April 2006. I was diagnosed with Autism in age of 3. I used to be a non-verbal until when i got into yo-yos when i was in primary school, and this is when i started speaking english.

 

I got into yo-yoing in Year 2 and I got into basic tricks like Rock the Baby. Then in Year 7, I learned more and more tricks, then after few years, I became a professional yo-yo player.

I also own a online yoyo shop for years called The Autistic Yoyo Man's Yoyo Shop, i sold many yoyos from YoyoFactory, Duncan, MagicYoyo and more! I'm looking forward for a brighter future. I also owned a yo-yo meet in the hunter region (Maitland/Newcastle). I'm one of the popular yo-yo players with Autism and also lives in the Hunter Region city known as Maitland.

​​

I also provide Graphic Design work and Drumming for Bands (since Year 10). As I made many graphic design stuff in and outside of school, and for drumming. I've performed in high school, my school's musical production of School of Rock, and Bandwidth at Hunter School of the Performing Arts (as Cut list).
