@@subzero8344 iq is a pretty arbitrary measure of intelligence ... comparable to the bmi maybe. Also he definitely was not born with 170iq. He grew to get an iq of 170. How do you know whether this progression was because of his genes or because of his distinct experiences in life.

@@subzero8344 luck most definitely has a hand in it whether it was genes or experiences. Not discounting his hardwork tho

Not sure such a world would be an optimal place to live for you and me. But who knows...

can't believe people don't add to his contribution by saying something useful. Create by thinking. It doesn't have to be beautiful, as long as it is unique in a way. This kid is inspiring. Live to create your own world. Share the things you get excited about.

Patrick Anderson great comment

Patrick Anderson exactly. Comparing yourself to others and living up to other people's standarts is the worst thing I have done with myself xD

Not really. He is classified as a genius with a talent that around 1 in 10 Million people have.

To be fair, he was born with a photographic memory and genetics to back up his iq. I don't know how an 8 year old (forgot how old he was) challenges Einstein's theories.. lol, where'd he learn all that info from? Ngl, it just makes me curious. Not like I know everything about the world without learning it.

Don't worry about the label of autism, it'll just hold you back. It's just a label society uses to hold gifted people down, find something your great at and excell, the rest will come in time.

You're right. Good thing I wrote a book.

+fatninjacatmatt, you raise a good point, but if i might had to what you said, autism is a noun that identifies a condition and autistic the adjective form, one that appears abnormal (but lets not get into the semantics of 'normal'), sure the word label sounds terrible, its more describing a person, adding meaning to who they are, we carry around these adjectives gaining more as we grow. But there are definitely those who would use these beautiful pieces of language against us. The vulgarity shouldn't lie in the word, it is just there (and yes there are some definitely 'bad' words, that shouldn't be spoken) the vulgarity is in how someone uses the word. So don't this of autism, or any other word associated with yourself, as a label that you should care about, they are more like distinguishing features of yourself expressed through language. And @Hooded Violin, it is people with the courage and determination like Jacob and yourself that inspire me.

Kieran Morris Thank you. That's very humbling to hear.

+Kieran Morris it was used in a negative connotation as a way to describe himself and I wanted to encourage him to think bigger than his socially labeled condition. And I agree, autistic thinking is the root of all great pieces of creativity, but to use the term autistic to describe how society perceives you is just a way to limit your capabilities as a gifted thinker. Sorry if that's too esoteric, but that's just the way I think. If you want to read more about this autistic thinking and are into metaphysics at all, I would strongly suggest you read this book called "A crack in the cosmic egg: challenging the constructs of mind and reality". It's taught me a lot about my mind and how to get into a creative state easier.

MrFunkiFresh Will said "his laugh" is like nails on a chalkboard. How do you get "autism" from that?

Wil Marsh Not everyone can grasp basic reading comprehension.

will It was nervous laughing, mostly. He's a mental giant, but he's still a kid. Also, his voice is changing. There was a time all you men sounded just as wonky voiced.

He already has achieved great things way more then you have in your entire life. His laughter is his joy so you are saying somebody's joy annoys you? That's horrid.

Ruby Dechambre When someone's joy annoys another, their own joy is what's lacking. Here is an article on Jacob's story, what his accomplishments are, and what he's working on. wakeup-world.com/2013/06/04/autistic-boy-discovers-gift-after-removal-from-state-run-therapy/

Muddy Diamond sounds 10*

Muddy Diamond thinking like a 74 year old would be bad lol. Being 30 is probably the prime age in terms of fluid intelligence. You grow wiser as you age, not necessarily smarter

age doesnt define knowledge

It makes me cringe each time he tells a home and laughs at his own joke

To me He sounded like me when i was 13 he is not that special he just has a very good understanding of math like me in his age but it takes more than that he probably won’t win a Nobel prize

k

Yeah, and possibly some parents would have given him some ritalin and stopped his genius hyperactive behaviour.

Coming from someone whos going to be on Dexamphetamine to help me focus due to my ADD/ADHD and S.I.D (Sensory Integration Dysfunction) for the rest of his foreseeable life and has been on it for the past 11 years since the age of 8, Not everything you know about autism and ADHD is a lie. Now days a lot more people seem to know that ADHD isn't a complete anger issue (although when you do the math theres still a couple hundred million people out there that probably do think thats what ADHD is) Where as the truth is that ADHD is an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This means that a lot of things that could cause minor reactions that most normal people would just shrug off could cause someone with ADHD to have a bout of hyperactivity and extremely over react to something. In my case this is what happened to me when i was younger, got easily set off while getting bullied in primary school (even if the thought of a past incident of being bullied could trigger a hyperactivity bout in me) and along with my SID it was extremely hard to control my emotions so i often got very violent over minuscule things. After I was evaluated to have my conditions by my pediatrician first put me on Ritalin, and this actually helped my hyperactivity. However it also made me extremely aggressive. So after some trial and error over the course of about 7 months in my year 4 (i was 8 years old turning 9) I was put on Dexamphetamine which helped suppress the hyperactivity, helped the attention deficit (in practical wording it basically helped me focus for longer than 20 seconds at a time, Helped the messages my brain sent to the rest of my body go there properly and efficiently without doing what would equate to a sightseeing tour around the rest of my body before going to the messages intended target. Long explanation i know but i hope it made sense there) and didn't cause me to be aggressive for no reason. The medication coupled with a year of occupational Therapy (basically using movement and repetition of actions like trying to balance on special boards, Listening to selected therapeutic music for 30 minutes a day and other activities to help work on and refine my motor skills) helped refine the motor skills that My S.I.D caused to be rather lacking when compared to that of another human. Then 2 and a half years of normal therapy to help me get out of the depression that 8 year old me experienced because in my mindset back then i didn't want to be different, All I wanted was to be "Normal" and my add and the res of it made me different and the constant bullying I was receiving before I came to the realization that being different isn't too bad. Ritalin is effective for some people because they need to stop the random bouts of hyperactivity, It can also be bad for some others. It really does depend on the chemical imbalance in the persons head and the severity of the genetic defect that causes their autism that dictates the overall needs of a person and their reactions to medication.

"Proof autism is not a burden on our society." >Its not necessarily a burden in every case. But some points on the spectrum can be very difficult & a constant struggle (based on many known cases) and others seem perfectly normal, not extremely smart but not way below average. Obviously they can be very smart. Others have a great difficulty in communicating and in social skills. In more extreme points on the spectrum, kids have a hard time acting in ways that we would think as normal. They can come off as very eccentric and some mistaken it for other issues. Some parents have to basically dedicate nearly all their time to handling their autistic kid so, that statement kind of depends on which case you're referring to.

I agree with what you said here. I think that the majority of people who don't think like he does often find these kind of people intimidating in that regard or overwhelmed with all the knowledge that kids like him want to share. One of the challenges kids like Jake find difficult to find is relating to other people in small talk conversations. They think in abstract ways that the majority don't have the ability to do.

+Yassir Douslimi Im agree with you Yassir! and the way that I get it is that, we can learn the basic things about the things we are interested on and then think about different posibilities or ways that this field can be processe it and create our perspective or way to apply it..

+lolmouf Self discovery is actually the best method of learning. If you think back to the things that you learned, most of the ones that you remember are things that you figured out yourself. You view them as an accomplishment. The problem with today's school system is that it is teaching the wrong way. We evaluate young adults as "having learned" by seeing if they can write down things from memory and then we judge the accuracy. In the 60 minutes video about Jacob they asked his physics professor if Jacob just had a good memory, or was it more than that - and he said it was more. Learning is so much more than just memory recall, and if we allow people the time to just stop and think for a while, it would surprise you to see what they could come up with. Sure they may end up with the same conclusions as existing work - but how is that a bad thing? They've learned it on their own, in their own way, and may even add to collective knowledge on the subject. We do not advance as a species by reliving all of the current knowledge - we advance be creating new knowledge.

+Xinke Guo-Xue that's so true ! I like the way you see it ! more people should think in that way and not just keep with the things we learn I'm school even thou it's important but if we work and study in the way you're saying it will help us to discover many other things in life :)

Katie Bang without a doubt.

+Jacob Ponce Yeah. And you have to not ever put kids in a school. Straight away let them roam. They're bound to discover or invent something. Even if it's 'only' their own joy and happiness. The whole purpose of being alive is to live fully and feel happiness. The job, the inventions, they're all secondary. Absolutely secondary. I dislike it when people look at kids with business models. No thanks. The industrial revolution really did a number on society.

***** dude at least he is trying

What I got out of his speech is he got someone to disprove his work so that he could think. I get disproved and disapproval constantly in my work. I didn't realize until your comment that, that is what kept guys like you, talented and worthy on track to creating successful Theory. Good luck.

Maybe you should just give it a try. With something you like. It's working!

Or perhaps it is just a matter of stop thinking, as he said...

the last two responses are correct. as long as you limit yourself what you say will be true. But the minute you step out of the box and color outside of the lines you will see the truth of it.

his condition helps him in sertan ways, but there are other things to think about and to create that people with autism are totaly useless at.
