At 12-years-old, Jacob Barnett is a genius. He’s already in college, his IQ is higher than Einstein’s, and for fun he‘s working on an expanded version of that man’s theory of relativity. So far, the signs are good. Professors are astounded. So what else does a boy genius with vast brilliance do in his free time? Disprove the big bang, of course.
Quote:
Young Jacob‘s journey to genius hasn’t been a fairy tale. He didn’t speak until he was two, and he’s been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, a mild form of autism. His mother, Kristine, told the Star he has trouble sleeping because he constantly sees numbers in his head.
“A lot keeps me awake,” Jake said. “I scare people.”
But he also has so much promise, and that excites many more.

He didn’t talk until he was two and has a form of autism. Are there other geniuses out there who haven’t broken through the barriers of autism as this boy did? What could they contribute to mankind if only they could communicate and function like everyone else? I will never look at an autistic child in the same way again.
That is really a positive example of what aspies can do
they can, if they want, disconnect from that what limits other normal persons
and use their creativity to make something new.
If you think about Einsteins special relativity theory. What a kid of weird thing it is:
You move at nearly light speed and see only once. Anybody else than an aspie would think how stupid it is to make a theory for that kind of situation.
Then he made the real thing out of it, the general relativity theory.
Just because he was convinced that he was right and despite the mathematical problem was enormous.
Now we can use the GPS because he did it. (This is the most used practical thing where you need general relativity theory I think)
Without his persistence, which is an aspie trait, we would not have this nice really respected theory...
Lets hope that this nice little aspie will do his way because I think we need something new in this world.
He's crazy enough to do it and do it right.
This has not so much to do with his IQ, the aspie trait is much much more important.
Just support aspies because it is worth it!
(They are all little inventors and analysers and not stupid ! !! !)
