Alex Eaton was in the paper 2 years ago for swimming across Lake Eufaula in Oklahoma. It was his goal for his birthday and he did it.


In the article he explains that he has Asperger's syndrome and he's been a long-distance swimmer for the last 7 years.

"“I has Asperger Syndrome, which is a form of autism,” he said. “It just means I need to stay more physically active than most people. So, I swim.”

Pushing his body to its physical limits helps Eaton calm his mind and focus on daily tasks.

“My mind wanders, I can’t focus or function sometimes,” he said. “But swimming helps calm me, helps me focus and feel better,” he said."
