LONDON. May 10. KAZINFORM - 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.
His mother Kristine Barnett, author of The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing Genius, told BBC Breakfast she initially found it hard to get Jacob the right education.
