'Ausome' Jersey resident Eddie Lin has a growing legion of fans who are working to land him a spot on Ellen DeGeneres' TV show. The Edison teen has the amazing skill of transforming balloons into sculptures, from life-sized people to adorable animals. He also has autism.

The artist name “Ausome Balloon Creator” plays on the "Au," to represent his autism trait.

In the video above, you can see Eddie, an Autism New Jersey ambassador, tell his peers, "Balloons bring people happiness, and that makes me happy."

The close-knit Lin family recently was featured in an NBC News piece. It followed Eddie and his mom, Jenny, to a 'gig.' For the high number of NJ families touched by autism, this is a story of hope & inspiration.
