A teenager who was diagnosed with autism and told he would never be able to read has been tipped as a future Nobel prize winner.
Jacob Barnett, who was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism at two years old, is now studying for a Master’s degree in quantum physics.
Experts say the student from Indiana has an IQ higher than Albert Einstein’s.
I don’t think IQ is what really set Einstein apart. I think it was a more unique and non-quantifiable world view / creativity.
I don’t undestand how the article justifies calling him a future nobel prize winner at this point, I haven’t found any references to any break throughs he’s made. He’s definitely smart and inspirational, but there are a lot of super smart dudes accomplish a lot but just never really have a “breakthrough discovery” that results in a Nobel Prize.
