Adhara Pérez Sánchez, a 9-year-old Mexican girl, isn’t just any other kids. She has Asperger’s syndrome that prevented her to live like a normal kid – and has an astounding IQ higher than Einstein. Asperger’s syndrome is a developmental disorder that is generally considered a mild form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Individuals with this condition suffer from various symptoms including poor social skills, lack of verbal rhythm, delayed motor development, repetitive behaviors, and trouble making eye contact.
This is why persons with Asperger’s are often referred to as ‘social oddballs’ which often makes them unfortunate targets for bullying and discrimination. Symptoms usually become more manifested when the person begins to experience difficulties in school or other social settings. Adhara Pérez began showing symptoms of the condition as early as 3 years old. Unable to socialize and communicate with other kids, she was often bullied by her classmates. Although she slept through her classes in school, her mother Nallely Sánchez claims that she was studious at home, having a keen interest in science.

Adhara will be turning 10 this year – too young and yet has accomplished so many great things in her life. And it’s just a matter of time before she finally reach for the stars. Her story serves as a motivation to other kids on the autism spectrum to persevere in life despite their condition. If you need more proofs that Asperger’s syndrome isn’t a hindrance to success, take note that Charles Darwin, Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Francis Richter, and Bobby Fischer also had this condition. And yet these people are considered as the most brilliant masterminds in their respective fields. And Adhara will too.
