    Interesting! I couldn't help but laugh when the author of the piece explained who Doogie Howser was. Have '90s references become that obscure?

    He's very fortunate in that he's a math genius and only borderline autistic. Teach that boy how to count cards! ;) Peace Prize might be a bit preemptive, but if they gave Obama one...

    Not the peace prize he'd be eligible for. Rather, one of the other Nobel prizes for physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, or literature.

    The Nobel prize doesn't mean much these days anyway.

    Yeah, I guess that's true. Just the whole Nobel name was tarnished with that outrageous peace award they gave to Obama. He hadn't earned it, and turns out never did.

    His talk about the creation of the universe reminded me why I love physics, maybe medicine isn't the way I should go...

    Hahaha, that was my exact thought! It saddened me so, I almost didn't read the rest of the article, haha. But wow....I certainly wasn't born with the right brain disorder. This kid's pretty incredible.

    Wouldn't this kid be awarded "The Field's Medal" instead because it's mathematics and equations? It's only given out every 4 years.

    Because a person with all their "normal" faculties intact with those abilities would probably destroy us all.

    If he were to create a new theory of quantum physics about the creation of the universe, he would probably be in better company with the Nobel laureates in Physics; People like Einstein, the Curie's, Bohr, and Anderson

    Not much to see there... you have watched my mental masturbation(s) though :unibrow:

    Try this: brane theory is missing the point. Everything is in a fractal cone and time is a human concept simply because we are finite.

    I like this kid. A lot of fully autistic people have problems coming up with new ideas. This kid has the ability to think outside the box and use conventional logic.
