And good luck to Aidan - he has lovely elegant tennis to watch, we need a few one-handers for kids to see it's possible and, as said, that boy's volleys are a dream.
Do so hope he gets to showcase his talent properly at Wimbledon this year. I'm definitely expecting/hoping for a Quali wildcard.

Lets get him some matches and wins in adult tennis first.

He's got an ATP ranking. I know it's not major wins but at least it's some.
But I agree - he's got to move over to adult tennis, and I imagine it's well on his agenda.
However, I do think he will be a perfect candidate for a quali wildcard.
Personally, I certainly wouldn't yet be expecting any Wimbledon qualifying WC for Aidan, af best a play-offs WC if his ranking needs one. But be great if he can switch much more over to seniors and start to pick up quite a few more senior scalps and make it much more of a decision to be made,
I think there should be a rule that our best youngster (ATP and JWR factored together) gets a wildcard to the qualis. Of course, it might not be Aidan this year. (Which is also partly why I'd like a bit of discretion but the British system dislikes that, because the 'discretion' always goes in favour of the in-crowd, so I guess you'd have to stick to a formula).
Particularly impressive as this is effectively the strongest non Grand Slam grade event of the year, with all the top 16 ranked boys here. In the final Aidan plays the recent Orange Bowl winner
