He was reading at just 10 months old, speaking Japanese by 3, and studying through an Oxford program by 6.
Joshua Beckford, a British-Nigerian autistic prodigy, showed extraordinary abilities from infancy. By age 4, he was already practicing simulated surgeries on a computer.
In 2011, Oxford University allowed Joshua to join a program for gifted children, even though he was younger than the usual age requirement. He studied philosophy and history, earning distinctions and a Certificate of Excellence.
But Joshua’s story is about more than academic brilliance. He has used his platform to raise awareness about autism in underrepresented communities and support educational projects for young people across Africa and the UK.
His dream is to become a neurosurgeon and inspire other children to believe that being different should never limit what they can achieve.

BREAKING: Fox News shocks its viewers as right-wing host Steve Doocy rips into MAGA House Majority Whip Tom Emmer live on-air over the Republican scheme to torpedo the bipartisan border bill.
This is not what conservatives expected to see when they turned on their TVs...
Republican lawmakers have been lining up to attack the new border legislation because Donald Trump has commanded them to. Trump wants to run on immigration and if Biden signs a border bill, Trump loses his signature campaign issue.
The truth, of course, is that Trump doesn't actually care about the border. He only cares about regaining power.
Doocy had Emmer on his show and called out the blatant hypocrisy.
"I know a lot of Republicans are against it because Donald Trump is against it," said Doocy. "But here's the problem for you guys the Border Patrol union came out and the acting CBP chief both came out and said that it's not perfect, but this is the best thing we've seen in decades."
"So are Republicans gonna say that the Border Patrol union and the acting CBP chief are wrong?" asked Doocy.
"Well look, they can have their perspective, Steve and we've got a lot—" said Emmer.
"It's their jobs, Tom!" interjected Doocy.
"Well and it's our job to, uh, actually make sure the laws will accomplish what we're seeking to do," said Emmer.
The truth is that the bill does accomplish what Republicans claim to want to accomplish. Biden and the Democrats have negotiated for months and compromised on numerous points.
Under normal circumstances, Republicans would be praising this bill. But since Trump doesn't want it passed for selfish reasons, Republicans are pretending to hate the bill.
This attempt to hurt the country to get Trump back into office is utterly transparent and American voters will see right through it come election day.

@Mitumba10 Actually, the Court ordered little orange donnie *rump to pay the 83 million, on top of the 5 million payment ordered earlier. His only recourse now is to delay the appeals proceedings on the jury decisions as long as possible - in the hopes he is elected dictator or deceased.
@RadioFreeTom It’s actually lunacy (not insanity) that is setting in on the sundowning ex president 45. Dementia & cognitive decline, along with a complete inability to keep his “facts” straight, is obviously eating away at the rational, logical Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) and hippocampus centers
The Fulton County Courts’ YouTube channel will stream Trump's trial live.
Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee issued an order today stating that all court proceedings involving Trump and his 18 co-conspirators will be televised.
Will you watch it?
Surprising exactly no one, carbon offsets are a scam. It's a convenient way for polluters to turn down the heat from their critics or feel better about themselves. We need to actually lower emissions. #ResistanceEarth#BlueEarth#DemVoice1#wtpEARTH

Opponents of the Social Security Act and the Medicare/Medicaid Act (mainly the GOP & ultra wealthy white male oligarchs & authoritarian tyrants) have attempted to bankrupt Social Security and Medicare since the 2 Acts were passed after the 1929 Great Depression. Keep them away
Social Security taxes are rigged for the rich — and the program is in danger because of it.
A CEO earning $20M/yr pays Social Security taxes on ~1% of their income.
Meanwhile, the typical worker pays Social Security taxes on 100% of their income. How does that make sense?

🚨BREAKING: Joseph Biggs, a onetime lieutenant in the Proud Boys, was sentenced today to 17 years in prison on seditious conspiracy charges for plotting with pro-Trump insurrectionists to attack the Capitol and disrupt the peaceful transfer of presidential power on Jan. 6, 2021. It’s the second longest penalty so far in more than 1,100 criminal cases stemming from the Capitol attack.
BOOM. Jamie Raskin calls on Congress to subpoena Jared Kushner over his $2 billion Saudi investment and says it "raises the significant possibility that there was a large quid pro quo.”
Raise your hand if you agree Jared should be investigated! ✋
BREAKING: MAGA supporters scream bloody murder after the New York attorney general fully exposes Donald Trump by revealing that he inflated his net worth by a staggering $2.2 billion.
The stunning revelation comes from newly released court documents in the attorney general’s office’s civil fraud lawsuit against Trump himself, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization.
This is a worst case scenario for a man whose entire political persona is built on the lie that he’s a “successful businessman.” In reality he’s just a common crook who inherited his daddy’s money tax free.
“Based on the undisputed evidence, no trial is required for the court to determine that defendants presented grossly and materially inflated asset values in the [statements of financial condition] and then used those SFCs repeatedly in business transactions to defraud banks and insurers,” wrote the attorney general’s office.
Trump and his cretinous sons are being sued for $250 million. If they lose, the indicted ex-president’s legal problems will worsen as he struggles to pay his mounting legal expenses.
A defeat in court would also bar Trump and his sons from serving as an officer or director of any New York businesses.

BREAKING: A Republican state representative in Alabama is arrested on felony voter fraud charges after he allegedly voted in a district where he did not live — proving once again that conservative cries of "stolen elections" are nothing but projection.
This is just too perfect.
Representative David Cole of Huntsville was arrested in humiliation yesterday according to Madison County jail records and his mugshot is now doing the rounds.
While the exact details of the charges have not yet been revealed, there have been pronounced accusations that Cole did not live in the district in which he cast his vote.
It's worth noting that voter fraud — which is exceptionally rare and only seems to be done by Republicans who then get caught — is a Class C felony punishable by up to a decade in prison.
Sorry David, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime!
