I remember seeing this when I was about 11 years old and I had recently learned why I was so different from my classmates and couldn't seem to be very likable. Turns out I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 6, but no one ever told me. I sat in at my own IEP meeting in 6th grade and learned that my teachers and mom expected me to never live alone, never drive a car. I also learned that I could have skipped a grade had I been "socially ready". I was determined to change my teachers' and my mom's minds and so I began trying to study normal social behaviors and try to make a friend or two. I too was a math nerd up until I realized my hatred of algebra, so I needed a new passion and so I latched onto music. I am now going to be studying music at college next fall. I have my drivers license, and yes, I will be living on my own in the future.

That's not just memory: there are people who remember every moment of their lives, but are incapables of doing maths, or science or art or anything

All these people saying 'he hasn't got autism'! You all have to realise that autism is a very broad thing and basically every case of autism is different

Arrogance? More like confidence and absolutely proud of his abilities, he has every right in the world to be so confident in himself, he's not only a genius, but he's also very driven and dedicated in what he does. Good for him, I'll be waiting to see what marvel he comes up with for all of us one day.

More than a decade later, they should do an update on Jake and see where he is in life now. He really is a one of a kind person.

I used to teach gifted students, and one student, who I won't name, was on the spectrum and was just INCREDIBLY intelligent as though he was from a different dimension. He spoke about the brain in ways that I just could not believe! He didn't need a teacher, he needed a mentor. So great.

I am a 21-year-old graduating engineering student (with honors). I speak just as fluently as this genius kid does, and I, too, am proud of my autism. It's not an illness. It's not so much a disability, even. It's just a different way of how we function in life.

This is so sad. He had so much potential. But life goes on he can still achieve more despite his family circumstances.

I hope Jake enjoys challenging himself, growing, and applying himself before, during, and after he finishes his PhD. The world needs passionate people in the line of work they love.
