I think I finally figured out what bothered me about most of the coverage of this (obviously wonderful) young man.

It has been patronising. Either on the 'Doogie Howser' side of things ('debunking big bang') or on the 'isn't he cute' side ('his little brain').

Ugh. Why spin this? He's a great kid who has terrifically supportive parents and has found a perfect academic niche for himself. Isn't that enough??
