Wired For Genius

In this book, J. Matthew Jacobson covers his four decade long battle with social awkwardness and abstract thinking. The author recounts his personal life and events that have culminated into his self-realization and exploration of High Functioning Autism (formerly known as Asperger's Syndrome) and the Autism Spectrum Disorder that has lurked in his shadows, terrorizing relationships and maximizing his creative genius.

He explores the various traits that have plagued his social interactions, from Auditory Processing Disorder and mild Face Blindness, to Mind Blind Blindness. These memoirs give readers a very personal insight into the obsessive hyper-focusing that has been observed in Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Charles Darwin. He explains how this 'switch' gets flipped on, what causes it, and how it has led to little-known breakthroughs like the invention of the Light S.A.B.I.R. (a handheld non-lethal rising and falling beam of light) and the Laws governing the Spherical Nature of the Universe, the understanding of why Pi's decimal has no end, and electron orbitals of predicted element's, among other things.
