Are you familiar with Jacob Barnett? He’s an autistic young man who is also a genius and quite possibly a future Nobel prize winner in physics. His parents were told he would likely never read or tie his shoes. His mother pulled him out of school and began working with him and other kids by focusing on their passion areas. She wrote a book called: The Spark: A Mother’s Story of Nurturing Genius. It’s definitely worth a read.
