Autism Child Math Prodigy

One of the most famous things that the general public knows about Autism is that occasional ability it has to manifest what seems to be super-power knowledge. While, obviously, not all Autism cases present themselves with such traits, it is known to happen and Hollywood has been quite liberal at using this to tell some pretty creative stories.

While we all love Rain Man, we at OPI feel like it’s important during Autism Awareness month to focus on real-life stories and we found a nice, heart-warming piece about a young Math prodigy who is quite proud of his Autism. We hope you enjoy this 60 Minutes piece as much as we did. (Click the photo to play the video on Youtube)
