So much respect for this super human! It's amazing to me he lived to the age he did with ALS and endured a great deal of his life trapped in that body with the mind that he had! Amazing! So much important contribution to the science of the universe.

I found this in The NY Times article:

Stephen was a mediocre student at St. Albans School in London, though his innate brilliance was recognized by some classmates and teachers.

Mediocre student. Blasphemy. I will start a petition for The NY Times to retract this statement.

By his own admission he was. He only became serious about his PhD when he was diagnosed with ALS.
