Adhara Pérez Sánchez, a remarkable 11-year-old from Mexico City, stands out for her exceptional talent. Sánchez has a 162 IQ, which is higher than that of renowned physicist Albert Einstein, and is on track to earn a master’s degree in engineering.
She already holds degrees in systems engineering from CNCI University and industrial engineering with a focus on mathematics from Technological University of Mexico.
Because of bullying, Sánchez, an autistic student, completed elementary school at age five and middle and high school in just one year.
She is a talented student and public speaker who hopes to work as an astronaut.
Her ultimate goal is to work for NASA. She is actively working toward this objective by partnering with the Mexican Space Agency to inspire young students to pursue careers in mathematics and space exploration.
At age three, Sanchez’s speech development reversed, and she was later diagnosed with autism. Sanchez was raised in a low-income neighborhood.
In an interview with Marie Claire, Sanchez’s mother claimed that her daughter began to withdraw after feeling ignored by her teachers and being teased by other students for having a disability.
The professors weren’t too sympathetic; they suggested that I should have wished for her to complete a project. Mother of Sanchez, Nayeli Sánchez, claims that Sanchez began to isolate herself and didn’t want to play with her classmates because she felt strange and out of place”.
She was able to make it to class for a while, but eventually she lost the ability to do so, fell asleep in class, and lost interest in her studies. Her mother claimed that others had teased her daughter because of her gloomy disposition.
Sanchez’s unfortunate circumstances required him to switch schools three times. She persisted, though, in her intellectual interest.
11-year-old autistic girl with IQ above Einstein has earned a master’s degree and wants to.
Sanchez’s mother mentioned that her daughter could memorize things and had even taught herself how to do algebra. She enrolled her daughter in therapy because she thought she was just bored.
Sanchez was recommended to enroll at the Center for Attention to Talent (CEDAT), a school for gifted children, after a therapist recognized his extraordinary ability.
Sanchez’s IQ was determined by the university to be higher than that of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
“I want to travel to Mars and colonize it. If you don’t like where you are right now, visualize yourself somewhere else. It’s worth a shot, the 11-year-old told Goalcast, because I see myself working at NASA.
