The Spark by Kristine Barnett
Kristine Barnett's son Jacob is today, at age twelve, working on extending Einstein's theory of relativity. His story is remarkable, and all the more so because his prodigious mind and talents were almost lost after he was diagnosed with autism at age three. An extraordinary true story of what it is like to live with an exceptional child, Scattered Skills is a testimony to the power of hope, and the dazzling possibilities that can occur when we keep our minds open and learn how to fuel the potential that exists in every child.
Kristine Barnett's son Jacob Jake Barnett is an American child prodigy and mathematics genius. Diagnosed with mild autism - Asperger syndrome - Barnett showed an early interest in astronomy, often confounding scholars with advanced astrophysics knowledge and calculations by the age of three. Today Jacob is working on extending Einstein's theory of relativity while attending Purdue University.
