2. I'm Asperger's as well. Got the same treatment

My mother resisted doing this with me because she felt I needed to be around kids my age to develop social skills. These same kids bullied me mercilessly, even today some have no regret for it.

Yet, when I was five, I was doing work an 10th grader was doing. By eight, I was doing college level work.

But I was held back due to a desire for me to develop "social skills" and "be around kids my age."

Good for this little girl.
