Stories of a 10 year old genius

I recently came across the school books of my 10 year old brother, who has Asperger's syndrome. The syndrome makes him incapable of socialising properly, meaning he refuses to take part in class activities or do anything with the other kids. This makes teaching him quite a challenge.

At his school they decided to give him one-to-one support from a TA and allowed him to type his work on a computer as that's where he felt most comfortable. While he was working in the corner on his own he wrote some very interesting things which were printed off and stuck in his book. The following is from his English book. I may post more from other books as it is all completely mind-boggling.

It starts off with the usual 10 year old drivel they made him do, but then he goes into a "big write" where he is allowed to write his own story. I hope you enjoy it. Note: I have not changed a single part of this, from the spelling mistakes to the spaces and dashes.

BIG WRITE

Title:
The Guider
Story:

Somewhere in England, lived a normal man. And he no more knows his destiny, then a tealeaf knows the history of the east India company.his name is john tarrion, and one night, in one uniqe dream, he saw the guider...

The guider told him that to become destin for greatness, he must...



Eat the cheese..." eat the cheese?!" says john, "yes you must eat the cheese, and this dream will be returned." says the guider."but I'm not hungry!" says john.

"just eat the cheese so I can return this dream already!"says the guider.
"ok ok ok!"says john, john eats the cheese and wakes up in the morning.
"hmm..." john thinks that the dream could be special..."nah, it was just a dream."
Says john, john goes to work and when he returns home and goes to sleep, the dream returns as said.

"I knew it!"says john."you're the galaxy's last hope."
John wakes up in the next morning and finds that his house was moved to a strange rocky land."let the games begin."says the guider.the guider trains john."but why me?!"john angrily replies."because...the master says so..." replies the guider sounding scared.the guider tells john to follow the quardrants on the spaceship he is told he was trained to use.he goes in and somehow understands how to fly it and follows the quardrants. And there he finds a space station oriting the bigger space station and in the smaller space station lies a teleporter. John goes through it and there lies a mysterious figure that starts walking towards him."who's there?!" screams john at the top of his lungs."tell the guider, you've sw him." Says the mysterious figure.the mysterious figure disappears and john goes straight to the guider and without stopping, john tells the guider that he saw him..."go and retrieve the golden water."says the guider. John goes into the same spaceship and explores the universe and finally comes at top speed onto the planet "earth"! and, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale, his entire ship is almost swallowed by a small fly...the ship is only one third as big as his house so he suffered terrible demands for air resistance, escaping earth was going to require some serious speed power & muscle. His first attempt got him crashd on a small piece of grass. And finally, after 27 attempts, he finally left earth and got on his way to find the golden water. Dawning through space at an incredible speed, he finds a small blue planet and lands on it, luckily this time the calculation of size works perfectly...




Or so it seems! He was a giant compared to the beings on it, and he asked if anyone knew where the golden water is, and only one replied saying"its in sector 999999999999999999 alpha fifty."
"any simpler quadrance?"asks john.
"alpha nine, just say it in the ship you have." "thanks,!" john happily replies. John gets in the ship and says "alpha nine", and the ship goes to auto pilot. A few hours later, he crashed down onto a planet and manages to escape with the ship beyond repair. But then he saw it.the golden water... a whole five meter long river of it. About roughly 10 meters deep, stretching as far as the eye can see. The shining golden water reflects enough heat to burn the fuel leak in the ship as it blows up in a ball of fire and somewhat confusing radiation.john creeps into a hole that suddenly cracks open with the top whooshing into the sky! In the cave it is silent and a single drop of fresh cold-golden water falls on john's head..."you've collected some!" says a voice sounding like the guider.

Says john by a matter of fact, who is thinking about how odd this event is...
he falls through the vortex next to the guider and the golden water is extracted and put into a rather confusing thing that looks like the kind of thing you would hae a wedding thing in...
