Peter Horsfield on 18 Sep 13Jacob "Jake" Barnett is only 15 years and yet he's already taking his Master's Degree in Physics at Waterloo's Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, a prestigious institution funded by the inventor of Blackberry. Thought by specialists to be incapable of speaking and reading after having been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, Jacob surprised them when he turned out to have an IQ higher than Einstein. But while Jacob's intellect can be quantified, his mother's love for him remains boundless.
