Tan Seng Kit was diagnosed with autism at the age of 6. Although he attended a regular primary school, his mother knew that it would be extremely difficult for him to cope especially in his academic studies so he is now studying in a home schooling environment.

When he was young, as he couldn’t communicate verbally, he would draw pictures to express his feelings or his needs eg. if he wanted to eat fried egg, he would draw a picture of a fried egg so that his mother could cook it for him. So every time he wanted something he would draw it on a piece of paper.

But it was only in September 2003 that Seng Kit attended art class and currently, he is also studying under a well-known artist. He has improved a lot and is very proud to show off his art to everyone who visit him.

During the year 2005, he submitted a piece of his work to the ninth annual BRIAN AYERS MEMORIAL ART EXHIBITION in Boone, North Carolina, USA and received a Certificate of Special Recognition for Artwork Showing Exceptional Artistic Ability. (please check 2005 webpage on www.LDArt.org). Entries from 16 US states, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, South Africa, England, Hong Kong and of course, Malaysia were displayed. Seng Kit’s entry was awarded the Purchase Award for the best entry outside of the United States for his submission entitled “Old and New”.

In the year 2008, he represented Malaysia in the "ART FOR ALL:ALL FOR PEACE" art camp in Bangkok, Thailand which was organize by the Ministry of Culture, Thailand, Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University and UNESCAP.

In 2007 & 2008, his artworks were exhibited and sold at the 1st & 2nd International Art Expo held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
