From the Daily Mail (UK), 12/19/2012:

Krumm wrote he was fired or had to quit four jobs.

‘Despite having a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering I have not been able to solve the novel problems I need to solve at work,’ he wrote.
Interestingly, the young man attributed his problems to Asperger’s syndrome.
