Jacob Barnett Biography

As a child doctors told Jacob Barnetts parents that their autistic son would probably never know how to tie his shoes.
But experts say the 14-year-old Indiana prodigy has an IQ higher than Einsteins and is on the road to winning a Nobel Prize. Hes given TedX talks and is working toward a masters degree in quantum physics.
The key according to mom Kristine Barnett was letting Jacob be himself by helping him study the world with wide-eyed wonder instead of focusing on a list of things he couldn't do.
Diagnosed with moderate to severe autism at the age of 2 Jacob spent years in the clutches of a special education system that didnt understand what he needed. His teachers at school would try to dissuade Kristine from hoping to teach Jacob any more than the most basic skills.
Jacob was struggling with that sort of instruction withdrawing deeper into himself and refusing to speak with anyone.
