The

Strivelli was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at four years old. He learned to communicate early by drawing pictures. His early themes were cartoons, children's shows, and superheroes. In Nov. 2007, Strivelli traveled to Washington, DC, to accept an "Award of Excellence" in VSA Art's Driven exhibit at The Smithsonian Institution's S. Dillon Ripley Center. He was one of 15 national finalists in the competition.
