Alex is actually an extremely good 'visual' writer with a strong handle on making his audience part of his experience. His word choices are definitely advanced for his age and he links his ideas distinctively, saying what he needs to say without drivelling along aimlessly. Spelling and syntax come along eventually but it would be a real shame to pin them down at the expense of his imagination.
I'd say he's extremely bright - just not conventional. More power to him!!!!
