mom notices seven-year-old acting unusual then hears teacher's remark [Music] [Applause] her anger surged through the roof as she threw the bottle of pills into the wall a loud bang echoed through the house her hands worked fast as she ripped the angry note from her daughter's teacher to shreds and shoved it back into her daughter's backpack she knew better than everyone that her daughter was not a troublemaker but soon she would be able to prove it with a simple computer test life wasn't easy for nalelli sanchez and her family living in a low income area didn't give them many choices when it came to employment or schools more than anything however she was worried about her daughter at hara it was at three years old when she and her husband spotted something odd athara was becoming very peculiar in how she did things at only two years old she could form full sentences together and she was obsessed with puzzles but upon her third birthday nalelli noticed something seemed off she was no longer communicating with her the way she was told to expect and her fixation on certain tasks became more intense as a mother nalelli noticed everything about her baby girl she would stay up to the wee hours of the morning fretting about the little differences in behavior compared to the other kids at hara's age it wasn't until they asked a doctor did the truth finally come out her little girl had asperger's syndrome naleli sat in the living room holding her baby girl and trying not to cry it wasn't the diagnosis that she feared it was how the rest of the world was going to treat athara starting school was just as bad as she had for seen nearly every day kids would call her cruel names and by the time she came home adhara had puffy red eyes from crying so much nelly and her husband watched in horror as their girl slipped into a deep depression and it was all because of what was happening in school it was just so wrong she was only seven years old and already hating life time after time teachers would complain that she wasn't paying attention in class giving her angry notes to take home and show her parents but instead of disciplining her they reacted differently the angry notes only made nelly and her husband sick to their stomachs it felt like who the teacher was writing about was not their daughter at all but someone completely different then another huge hurdle came their way when adhara's teacher pointed out yet another set of unexpected actions nearly every day at hara would fall asleep in class nalelli would ask why but her daughter would just shrug no matter how many times nelly and her husband quiz their daughter on her behavior she wouldn't talk instead she stayed in her room avoiding them out of fear she'd get into trouble it was almost like she was afraid to say anything left with no choice naleli devised a plan she asked the teacher if they could set up a camera during class so they could see what was going on thankfully the teacher accepted they also set up a camera in athara's room to see how she kept herself busy all this time the results weren't what they expected niley and her husband watched the recording of their daughter in class with the look of confusion on their faces it started with their daughter fidgeting and swinging her feet back and forth at her desk but it was about to get far far more interesting next was staring off into space and only snapping back to reality when the teacher would angrily tell her to pay attention it seemed the medication the doctor had prescribed to treat her asperger's syndrome wasn't working but the pharmacist at their local cvs said there was no reason it shouldn't be working something was very wrong naleli pulled her daughter into her lap and looked over the video again this time she tried to get at hara to explain what she was doing but it wasn't working adhara looked at the video and looked down she seemed unwilling to pay attention until a lesson on numbers popped up that's when something finally sparked at hara sighed and started to trace her fingers along her mother's arm like she was writing something what are you doing she asked at hara shrugged again numbers she said maybe her daughter really did know what was going on at school but she just wasn't being taught in a way that she could process suddenly nelly had an idea she told it hara to stay put as she ran to the study she grabbed a piece of paper and pen and put it hara back on her lap she placed the paper and pen in front of adhara and asked her to show her the moment she put the pen in the little girl's hand the shocking truth finally came out these weren't the numbers the teacher had been writing on the board nalelli quickly pulled out her laptop and picked the first site that appeared from her query kids online math test nelly watched as hara's interest immediately peaked her little hands grabbed the mouse and keyboard naleli watched her daughter zoom through the questions like they were nothing maybe it was far too easy for her age group she went back to the search bar and typed a math quiz relevant for her age again nelly watched her daughter make quick work of the test curious she went back to the search bar once more and typed hard online math test at hara had become visibly more enthusiastic as she stared at the screen niley hadn't seen her so interested in something in a long while the math problems were hard and way above nellie's ability her daughter began typing at speed nalelli yelled for her husband nalelli looked almost scared as her husband approached with wide eyes she turned her head to the screen and said look at this the couple watched in complete amazement as their daughter appeared to solve math equations far beyond their comprehension what was happening when the final result popped onto the screen nalelli couldn't believe her eyes her husband was also left in shock hold on a minute he said he grabbed the mouse and typed in one final experiment into the search bar online iq test he opened the page here honey he said to it hara try this it soon became clear that adhara was no ordinary girl immediately they speculated that their daughter wasn't misbehaving or falling asleep because she was bad or because of her syndrome she was bored because her iq was really high but first they needed to prove it they made her take a proper test to get a professional opinion adhara sat at the testing desk flipping through the pages like someone famished for a challenge even the testers that were overseeing everything looked on with wide eyes and stunned expressions but it was the final number that would blow everyone away at hara had an iq of 162 but what did that mean compared to other gifted people well albert einstein and stephen hawking both had an iq of 160. their little girl was a genius she didn't need medication or restrict her hand she just needed something to match how smart she was it wasn't long until the world found out and the sanchez family were in the spotlight at hara soared through high school by the time she turned eight it was like life had waved a magic wand and made the depression disappear nalelli finally could cry tears of joy instead of misery on behalf of her girl's plight but now there was also an immense sense of pride as that hara tackled two degrees at the same time one in industrial engineering and mathematics and one in systems engineering but what was the girl's end goal while some kids dream of being an astronaut and then move on to other career ideas adhara had the brains and passion to become one universities reached out and offered her scholarships countries invited her to visit their science and space programs she even gave a ted talk about her plans for future space study nelly and her husband watched with beaming smiles as their little girl stood on stage and talked about black holes mirror theory and traveling to distant planets she also revealed her plans for coming inventions including a smart watch to help parents with children with special needs and to think the first school was angry because she wouldn't answer what 5 times 5 was
