Last year, Rashwin Kalithas, five, gained a spot in the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) for naming 98 flags in nine minutes and 54 seconds, the most number of international flags identified by a child with autism.

On Nov 7, the Selangor-based boy added another feather to his cap by gaining another entry in MBR for being the youngest autistic child to hold a solo digital arts exhibition.
