Child prodigy with higher IQ than Einstein wants to colonise Mars as astronaut

DAILY STAR

An 11-year-old genius, who has an IQ higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, is receiving a Master’s degree in engineering.

Ahara Pérez Sánchez hopes to one day be an astronaut for NASA – previously stating how she wants to colonise Mars.

The autistic child, from Mexico City, Mexico, scored an astonishing 162 on her IQ test, which is believed to be two points higher than two of the smartest men who ever lived.

Ahara grew up in the low-income neighbourhood of Tláhauc and was often bullied for the developmental disability she was diagnosed with at age three.

Doctors made the diagnosis after the child’s speech significantly regressed and she was found rocking herself in her high chair.

Due to the adversity, Adhara was forced to move schools three different times and started to isolate herself.

Speaking to Marie Claire Mexico, her mother Nayeli Sánchez said: “The teachers were not very empathetic, they told me that I wish she would finish an assignment.
