A 12 year old smarter than Einstein?

The first thing I see when I go to the Yahoo homepage this morning is a post about a 12 year old boy challenging Eintein's theories in quantam physics.

The post read that the boy has Asperger's which is a form of Autism. According to research some forms of Autism allow people with it to focus more on certain things and solely on them therefore allowing them to understand that particular topic very easily.
I think it was a great article and I wish the boy, Jacob Barnett, all the best. Who knows? We may have another Einstein on our hands.
