does anyone else feel terrible for jacob/jake?

after watching some of the “natalia speaks” documentary on hulu i feel so bad for jacob. he said himself he’s regressed because of the turbulence that took place during his childhood. he still seems gifted and i read he is a theoretical physicist at Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Ontario now but im not sure how true that is. either way, im sure its hard for an autistic adolescent to deal with his parents being arrested/convicted and the story of it becoming mainstream news.

(this doesn’t mean i dont feel bad for natalia as well, im just talking about jacob)
