A Brown Skinned Native Mexican Girl is the most intelligent human alive.

❤️
When Adhara Pérez was three, she was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome.

She experienced severe bullying by her peers but in therapy, her parents learned she had a higher IQ than Albert Einstein. With her intelligence, Adhara graduated elementary school at five years of age, middle school by six, and high school at eight. Not even ten years old and Adhara is in the process of earning two degrees at once.

I hope she has some childhood enjoyment along with all that very grown-up achievement.

Regardless of her academic achievements (which are astounding to me) she is still a child and needs time to play and develop social skills among children her age.

My mother resisted doing this with me because she felt I needed to be around kids my age to develop social skills. These same kids bullied me mercilessly, even today some have no regret for it.

Yet, when I was five, I was doing work an 10th grader was doing. By eight, I was doing college level work.

But I was held back due to a desire for me to develop "social skills" and "be around kids my age."

Good for this little girl.

When diagnosed usually there are other disabilities that are present, my daughter 2 types of Dsylexia and ADD and my son ADHD along with Tuerettes syndrom( ticks). Both over came tremendous bullying and most of the teachers were amazing with them. My son would make beeping sounds like a big truck backing up, so I taught him to change it to a whistle, and then a scratch on the head and finally nothing, but he doesn't like to talk about it because it is involuntary and he is afraid it can trigger him to do it. That process of overcoming took it took 4 years, 5k -4th grade. My daughter had a stutter and verbal annunciation problems that took until 5th grade to overcome, but even our family doctor that suffers from a stutter couldn't believe she shows no signs, while he still struggles. I just always told her when she began to get stuck in her head on a word, stop breathe and restart, it became second nature. There are so many coping skills to learn and implement, that everything is surmountable.

They understood abstract and complex issues at a young age, both amazing artists and writers. My son was physically taking apart small engines at 7 and is now seventeen and a leader amongst his peers. My daughter is in college she wanted to be a theorical physist, but she is not good enough with math, so she hobbies the science theories of the Universe and tracks it with friends and us. She is in her senior year for her Bachelor's degree in teaching English and History.

Everyday of every hour awake was occupational therapy, but instead of the why me as a parent, we dove into whatever we could learn and do to help them get along on this planet. It is no different than the way the rest of face the world each day, just a different perspective and approach.

Not all of course, but most. Shoving kids into schools they don't fit into socially or academically - and where bullies are allowed to run wild in them - to develop their "social" skills is bullshit.

He did a normal school schedule, but has a masters in International relations, learned to speak and write Arabic, has chased Boko Haram around northern Nigeria, and is now doing who-knows-what on the Polish-Ukrainian border. A lot of very exceptional people have Asperger’s.

One of the most even tempered people I know. Never heard him raise his voice once. He has always looked way younger than he is. He is the one who let us in on Obama’s pick of Joe Biden as his VP way before it was announced. Biden’s staffers mistook his appearance and modesty for being a prepubescent Asian immigrant who hadn’t learned English yet. They felt free to discuss Biden’s selection in front of him, having no clue he was an 18 year old Virginian, interning for the Texas Democrats in Washington that summer, about to start Georgetown U as a freshman.
