Autistic boy,12, with higher IQ than Einstein develops his own theory of relativity - Polidicks

[QUOTE=THEMikeDurham;28802153]You guys are socially inept if you can't communicate with a "socially inept" person. Or you're just not used to it.[/QUOTE] Someone's getting defensive here. Hit a nerve?

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;28802157]Yea there are also autistic kids who run around naked moaning all day with no comprehension of even 1 + 1.[/QUOTE] Maybe those people should be your role models. Isn't life great when 1 + 1 doesn't matter and you can just run naked and moan all day?

Finally a kid with that can show that he somehow is more intelligent than a normal person. I'm tired of all those articles about kids with "more IQ than Einstein" for the sake of informing the readers that "HEY my kid took this test and it shows that he's smarter than X and X". Can't wait until this kid gets older and maybe even more clever. Edit: He seems cool in the video too.

Why can't I be autistic :frown:

[QUOTE=Noth;28802175]Someone's getting defensive here. Hit a nerve?[/QUOTE] Nerves? Defensive? No. Open to thinking? Yes.

I honestly kind of feel bad for the kid. He's already in college, he'll spend his teen years and beyond developing his theories. He'll likely never have a full, pleasing life.

what has science done

[QUOTE=Mr. Bleak;28802209]I honestly kind of feel bad for the kid. He's already in college, he'll spend his teen years and beyond developing his theories.

Not everyone has to focus on parties and shagging everything that moves.

[QUOTE=Mr. Bleak;28802209]I honestly kind of feel bad for the kid. He's already in college, he'll spend his teen years and beyond developing his theories. He'll likely never have a full, pleasing life.[/QUOTE] Let him do what he find is fun. I mean he's only 12.

[QUOTE=Mr. Bleak;28802209]I honestly kind of feel bad for the kid. He's already in college, he'll spend his teen years and beyond developing his theories. He'll likely never have a full, pleasing life.[/QUOTE] hes going to win a fucking nobel prize, what are you talking about

[quote]Jacob Barnett has an IQ of 170 - higher than Albert Einstein - and is now so far advanced in his Indiana university studies that professors are lining him up for a PHD research role.[/quote] It would be awkward to see a 12 year old working with people that are at least twice his age

His life will be pleasing. As in, it won't be pleasing in terms of your 'perfect life' but from an existential viewpoint, he can do whatever [b]HE[/b] wants in [b]HIS[/b] life and you can do what [b]YOU[/b] want to do in [b]YOUR[/b] life and let everyone else get on with [b]THEIRS[/b]. Both lives are just as 'successful' or 'complete' as they were to the individuals standard. Stop trying to live to everyone else's expectations of how you're life should be and live for yourself, to do everything you can to be happy every day.

[quote]Gifted: Jacob Barnett is so far ahead of his age group he is now leaving university he is developing his own theory on how the universe came into being[/quote] It won't stop any religious cunt from speaking up.

Some have intellectual pursuits, some just want to do fuck all on the weekend. The only time it becomes a problem is when people begin infringing on another's rights. The only assumed expectation is to not be a dick while you're here. [QUOTE=Noth;28802002]I can't think of a pun for this :smithicide:[/QUOTE] This kid can, but you probably won't understand it.

[QUOTE=B!N4RY;28802238]It would be awkward to see a 12 year old working with people that are at least twice his age[/QUOTE] yeah, I'm also akwarded by intelligence. sometimes it's as if they can see through my helium head!

[QUOTE=THEMikeDurham;28802115]I think you're socially inept. This guy's brain is just wired differently. It functions in different ways than yours. Stop calling him retarded.[/QUOTE] Are you trolling or are you just dumb? He didn't even call him retarded, he even said "Autistic kids, even ones with aspergers, display high amounts of intelligence." You only manage to see the last sentence (which is correct, by the way) and proceed to bash everyone for no reason and go all gaga on us.

[QUOTE=THEMikeDurham;28802276]yeah, I'm also akwarded by intelligence. sometimes it's as if they can see through my helium head![/QUOTE] ITT: THEMikeDurham is that kid's mom also this kid is pretty great, he should take up programming in his spare time. I can also assure people that if he enjoys his maths his life won't be any more empty than anyone elses, doing what you enjoy is important.

[QUOTE=Mr. Bleak;28802209]I honestly kind of feel bad for the kid. He's already in college, he'll spend his teen years and beyond developing his theories.

We hit a nerve and he's getting defensive.

I know I should like this child, but for fuck sake at least wear your hat the right way round you twat. Okay that's just mean.

[QUOTE=Patriarch;28802353]I know I should like this child, but for fuck sake at least wear your hat the right way round you twat. Okay that's just mean.[/QUOTE] You shouldn't just like him because he's a prodigy. The age of someone who thinks of something doesn't matter, and for the most part, neither does their reputation. If Stephen Hawking came out with this... bullshit, he too would be disgraced. The only reason this has got as far as it has is because he's 12.

If I use it though, I'm "bashing" people. Calm down guys. If you read what I say in a negative, pissed off attitude, it sounds like I'm the pissed off person.

I wish I could do basic math :saddowns: .

[QUOTE=Richard Simmons;28802037](using actual definition of 'retarded' here).[/QUOTE]

Do you happen to play Minecraft by any chance?

Start to learn on what words mean, you know.. definitions. Retarded means to be socially inept. Autistic kids, are socially inept due to a different 'wiring' in their brains. Therefor, kids with Autism are retarded. JohnnyMo1 rated me box. Its a box that i can take as a trophy

I can't wait to see this kid creating something incredible.

No, I just said there's no point in calling him retarded.

[QUOTE=Jack Trades;28802496]Do you happen to play Minecraft by any chance?[/QUOTE] That has no relevance to anything.
