"Jake, who has an IQ of 170, began solving 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzles at the age of 3, not long after he'd been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. A few years later, he taught himself calculus, algebra, and geometry in two weeks. By 8, he had left high school, and is currently taking college-level advanced astrophysics classes—while tutoring his older classmates. And he's being recruited for a paid researcher job by Indiana University."

It's pretty damn awesome, especially that he's also able to tutor, something that you would not expect from an autistic child.

Huge props for the parents for sticking with him, and I wish him good luck getting his doctorate.
