Adhara Pérez Sánchez
This story is about a girl, who is just an 11-year-old kid with an IQ higher than Albert Einstein’s. She will be receiving a master’s degree in engineering.
Adhara Pérez Sánchez, who hails from Mexico City, is a very special girl.
Sanchez graduated in systems engineering from the CNCI University and an industrial engineering degree specializing in mathematics from the Technological University of Mexico.
Adhara Pérez Sánchez IQ higher than Einstein
Interestingly, her IQ score is reported to be 162, which is higher than Einstein’s. The 11-year-old prodigy is also a public speaker and hopes one day to be an astronaut.
The young and extraordinary kid completed her elementary school at the age of five and graduated from middle and high school just a year later despite being bullied in school for being autistic.
She wants to NASA astronaut
Her dreams her big. She wants to become a NASA astronaut. To achieve that she is now working with the Mexican Space Agency by promoting space exploration and mathematics to young students.
Sanchez, who grew up in a low-income neighbourhood, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three after her speech was regressed.

Sanchez’s mother on her condition
In an interview, Sanchez’s mother revealed how she began to withdraw after she was bullied by her classmates for her condition. She also said her teachers didn’t seem to care.
“The teachers were not very empathetic, they told me that I wish she would finish an assignment. She began to exclude herself, she did not want to play with her classmates, and she felt strange, different,” said Sanchez’s mother, Nayeli Sánchez.
“She could be at school for a while but then she couldn’t, she fell asleep, she didn’t want to do things anymore. She was very depressed, people did not have empathy, they made fun of her,” her mother added. As a result of the unfavourable conditions, the 11-year-old had to change schools three times.
But her spark remained intact. The mother noticed that Sanchez was able to memorise the periodic table in full and had even taught herself algebra.
Having assumed that her daughter was just bored, she enrolled her in therapy.
Sánchez has that spark
Examining her during the session, the therapist recognised the spark of genius in Sanchez and advised the Center for Attention to Talent (CEDAT), a school for gifted children, to take her in.
The school confirmed that Sanchez’s IQ was higher than both Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
“I want to go to space and colonize Mars. If you don’t like where you are, imagine where you want to be. I see myself at NASA, so it’s worth a try,” the 11-year-old told Goalcast.
