"He has now promised his mother he will not travel again until he is 18, can drive a car, and has told her where he is going."

How sad. :(

That is fucking awesome.

"Ethan has a mild form of Asperger syndrome, a kind of autism associated with repetitive behaviour and some difficulties with social interaction."

He should join us!

Michel-Paul has a mild form of Asperger syndrome, a kind of autism associated with repetitive behaviour and some difficulties with social interaction

"I rode from when I woke up to when I went to sleep,"

Sound like a good way to pace yourself.

I imagine Michel-Paul had quite an amazing trip

not if your narcoleptic

Just wait until Hollywood get this story...

"i just felt like ri-ding, jenny" (note: not "riding jenny")

"Mum! I'm just popping out (to Sydney) on my bike"

"Ok son, have fun."

I love that line! haha. Really cute story!

that is quality. he's done really well to get that far - I bet it was on a crappy bike with massive tyres too.

That's a great story. Don't take the piss out of people with AS though, it's a very cheap shot.

thats briliant lol
i think every one should do it

He is my hero. When I grow up, I'm going to be just like him.

swoon

Completely agreed.

This bit made me chuckle, though:
"He's quite happy. He just didn't think to tell anyone he was going for a bike ride to Sydney," she said.

People with AS/autism can often think completely out of the box if given half a chance.

Gotta love the Queensland climate. Sleeping on park benches without any thermals!

As far as I am aware Michel-Paul does have Asperger syndrome, he is just a twat.*

My younger brother actually does have Aspergers , and he is just a nice guy that would love a normal life.

*If by any chance M-P you do suffer from Aspergers then I apologise as it is not a nice thing to have to live with as many people haven't a fuckin clue about it.

Yes, don't discriminate against people who may be on the AS spectrum. The media massively distort what it actually is.

And I believe you may be talking about Paul-Michel, not Michel-Paul (who hasn't been banned as he's just a silly alias).

isn't this how oliver came to the uk?
