An Autistic Kid with a Genius IQ

She's 8 and she speaks more clearly than most adults I meet, that's amazing. Bright future for her.

I hope this girl never loses her confidence.

She is so dang smart. Everytime you ask her "Why?" she laughs. She gets so excited to explain things. Such a great quality to have.

I followed this family for several years, never commenting. Then one time Ana was showing a typical attitude of a child, I just mentioned that maybe she just wants to stop being filmed so much. An innocent comment and probably accurate. I IMMEDIATELY GOT BLOCKED. I saw this mother be so defensive anytime I saw someone post anything she didn’t like. I think there is a lot of money making going on. I do feel sorry for this little girl. She has a camera in front of her face so much. Just not natural for a child.

I love how she giggles when you don't understand instead of being annoyed.

It got me worried to listen to her mother strongly saying she is so mature and stuff. Because she is not mature at all, and this can become a big problem later. Being able to retain and repeat lots of information can make a kid be gifted but does not make them mature. And you can tell by her demeanor and facial expressions how much she feels good and superior for saying "smart things" and the response she gets from people. I hope she can get to develope great social skills and emotional inteligence too. Kids who grow up thinking they are so much better than everyone else can experience horrible things in real life out there

She is such a dynamic little girl. Her speech patterns and tone are mature but she is so eager and delighted to be silly.

I'm like her, but after being bullied so harshly by the people that I was born to, I became selectivley mute around 7. I'm also very secretive. The family didn't know that I had planned to leave them. Just one day I was gone. They called this year through an old facebook account of mine and were surprised I answered. It's been 4 years since I left. I'm 20 now and the only people I talk to is my best friend and his mom. I wonder now how different my life would've been had I been supported by members of the family I was born into.

I love how she corrects your Spanish pronunciation of your own name 😂 “It’s not Chris, it’s Cris.”

High IQ but still a little girl, nvr forget that, every kids deserves a sweet childhood. xx

What a delightful little girl. She is so confident and loves herself, how many people can say that? ❤❤❤

Mom is her bio grandmother & dad married into their family a few years ago. They’re an amazing family that I’ve followed in Facebook. Mom is probably a genius too. She’s done a beautiful job of parenting. Anna is a lucky little gal.

"Whats the best thing about being you?" "Everything..." This made me so happy. We all agree that everything is in fact the best thing about Ana. Loved hearing her story!!

As a late diagnosed autistic who was put into all of those “gate” and “gifted” programs without any real support, seeing that this little girl not only has her diagnosis but is also getting a lot of love at home is really heartwarming.

You make me cry, young Lady. I have struggled so hard with my autism diagnosis. I am 46 years old and just found out. Thank you for showing me that it's ok to be smart.

Amazing girl. She not just intelligent, but knows how to use this gift and she is very wise as well. Thank you for this interview.

I love that the dad brought up a career that is not a forced STEM path. A LOT of gifted children get burnt out from such expectations.

I have an autistic 8-year-old with a genius IQ and he isn't nearly as confident and happy as this lovely girl. It breaks my heart because my son's self-esteem is so low and he's crippled by mental health issues. He's absolutely amazing just like Ana underneath it all but life is so so hard😢

You are like the Mr. Rodgers of 2024. You are such an example on how to value people just as they are. Great channel.

Ana - You are truly an inspired human being. Your light shines so brightly, and you have many creative gifts and ideas to share. Keep sharing. You are a sacred teacher. Bless you.
