Adhara Pérez of Mexico City was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at the age of 3. Her condition can cause difficulties in social interactions.⁠

Adhara, now 9, shared that the children at school often bullied her and called her a “weirdo” and an “oddball”. On seeing how unusually smart her daughter was, Adhara’s mom, Nallely Sanchez, decided to take her to therapy. ⁠

That is where her IQ was tested and estimated at 162 - slightly higher than that of Einstein and Stephen Hawking (both estimated at about 160). ⁠

Following a special studying plan, Adhara finished middle school by the age of 6, and high school by the age of 8. At present, she is earning 2 degrees online - one in industrial engineering in mathematics and one in systems engineering.⁠
