He loves to learn about history, especially Greek Gods, with his favorite one being Poseidon. Aiden loves reading, and his favorite series is Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan. Aiden loves video games, especially Roblox and Minecraft. He also likes to play sports such as football, and basketball. His quiet activities include drawing, coloring, and collecting trading cards like Pokemon. He enjoys fishing because he loves sitting quietly by the water, talking, and enjoying the outdoors. Aiden also enjoys watching anime, especially Dragon Ball Z. His favorite character is Goku. Aiden enjoys spending one on one time with people. He says it makes him feel special when people schedule time for him.  Aiden loves to think about his future. When asked about long term goals, he expresses that he would like to be a Social Studies teacher, an FBI agent, or possibly a Construction Worker. He likes to think about having a family when he gets older. He would like to get married, have kids, and a job that he enjoys. When asked what his ideal family looks like, he expresses that he would like a family with a mom and a dad, and ideally with cats and dogs. When Aiden was asked if he could have three wishes, what would they be, he excitedly responded that he "thinks about this every day!" Aiden stated his first two wishes are silly, but he wishes that Dragon Ball Z was real, and he wishes he could have all the steak he could eat. Most importantly, Aiden said for his third wish, he would like to feel happy, to have a family that loves him, wants to spend time with him, and is patient while he is getting to know them.
