When she was 3, Pérez was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, according to the Yucatan Times. Included on the autism spectrum, the developmental disorder can cause difficulties with social interactions.

The girl told the outlet she was “made a mockery at school.” Other students would bully Pérez, calling her names like “weirdo” and “oddball.”

...

In no time at all, Pérez finished elementary school by 5, middle school by 6 and high school by 8, according to the Yucatan Times. Now she’s reportedly in the process of earning two degrees online, one in industrial engineering in mathematics and one in systems engineering.

Good for her, any victim of bullying immediately gets my support.

People on the Autistic Spectrum with Asperger's are known as "High Functioning" because they appear to be extraordinarily gifted. They will often, on the other hand, struggle with everyday tasks

Children's IQ is scaled up. For higher IQs this value may be misleading. This is how you get people claiming they have IQ of 200 or more.

Making fun of people makes the tauter feel bigger than the one they are taunting even if it's not true. They feel smug and all giggly inside especially when done in groups like dog packs picking on one little lamb.

I have seen grown men being made fun of however in the military and the person they were making fun of became a better person from the poking fun of him.
