Max is a 21-year-old ‘speedcubing prodigy’ from Cerritos, California who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. In his life he has gone on to achieve multiple world records in speedcubing.
He was inducted into the Guinness World Records Hall of Fame earlier this year prior to breaking this Rubik’s Cube speed world record.
His father, Schwan Park, said “Max has been on an incredible and inspiring journey with Rubik’s. He has already accomplished so many things in life, but to watch him break the speedcubing world record is a whole new level of achievement.”
Max’s dad added “As parents of an autistic child, we’ve seen firsthand how life-changing cubing has been toward Max’s personal growth. We’re so proud of him for his jaw-dropping feat, and we hope this encourages further acceptance, understanding and appreciation for talents within the autistic community.”

“Wow great job Max! My son got into the rubiks cube lately and he’s watched the documentary you were in.”
“Absolute legend!”
Absolute legend indeed.
