Problem Statement

Let ΔABC\Delta ABC be an acute triangle and ω\omega be its circumcircle. Perpendicular from AA to BCBC intersects BCBC at DD and ω\omega at KK. Circle through AA, DD and tangent to BCBC at DD intersect ω\omega at EE. AEAE intersects BCBC at TT. TKTK intersects ω\omega at SS. Assume, SDSD intersects ω\omega at XX. Prove that XX is the reflection of AA with respect to the perpendicular bisector of BCBC.
