It should be noted that the boy was diagnosed with high functioning autism, was named as one of the most intelligent children in the world.

At the age of six when most kids are still learning how to read and count, Beckford was intellectually active to attend one of the best universities in the world. It was also gathered that at the very tender time when he was just 10 months old, Beckford could already read, write and understand the alphabet. Little wonder that by the time he turned two, he could read fluently and he could speak Japanese by the age of three.
