Kevin's diagnose has not kept him from enjoying life and all that it has to offer. Kevin started a video blog on YouTube called "Kevin's World", letting subscribers experience the world through the eyes of someone who has autism. The videos explore trips to the Houston Zoo, movies reviews, and his first crush.

"The Kids Lives Matter is a very special night for all kids to know that they are special and they matter. Having Kevin as our guest Ringmaster is a positive message to all kids, especially those with special needs. The most important thing to have is a positive attitude as Kevin displays."
- Cedric Walker, Founder, and CEO of UniverSoul Circus.
