A young man from Highland Mills is turning a lot of heads for what he's able to do on the gymnastics mat.

Nathaniel Babin, 9, trains twice a week at the Kennett School of Gymnastics in Goshen. The sport has been therapy for Nathaniel since he was born with autism spectrum disorder along with speech delay.

He recently won the Level 4 Division I 9-year-old title at the state Gymnastic Championships.

After Nathaniel retires from gymnastics, he hopes to become a NASA engineer because he loves science.
