I have aspergers and according to the online Norwegian Mensa test my IQ is 135 and I place in the 99th percentile. But to be fair the test is mostly just logic, pattern recognition and spatial perception which autistic people tend to excel at. I personally was never very good at math and I am also not very good at chess. When it comes to physics I always struggled with the math part but the theoretical part was easy to picture in my head.

@shortcurtas307 Месяц назад

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

@Sh12pen Месяц назад

Yeah, emphasising to a child that they are so mature and even going on to leave the child to raise itself can lead to accidental emotional neglect, but we do see her having fun with her parents so I don't think she's internalising it that badly

@Hippo-finds 27 дней назад

I hope people can understand that this isn’t maturity. I can relate to her experience because as a child I was in her same position. I was never labeled but was seen as gifted. I started reading very early and adults would always say I was an old soul. I’m working now with a therapist and have started to unpack that I was never mature but was just mirroring the adults around me. Which is what I see in this little girl. She is still an 8 year old little girl. Her mannerisms and way she speaks is on par with her mental age. She can hold in more information and learns information quicker than her peers but she still is just a girl. Which needs to be remembered because by labeling children as more mature you set them up to be taken advantage of. Which is what happened to me, I was 13 groomed by an older man. Maybe that’ll never happen in her situation and I hope it never does but it’s always a risk with labeling children as “mature”

@annabaeee 7 дней назад

you said it perfectly. every time i hear somebody call a child an "old soul" or "mature", it makes me uncomfortable. it has never sat right with me. by calling them that i think people are taking their childhoods away in a sense. a kid is a kid, no matter how eloquently they speak or how smart they are. let them be kids, treat them as kids, and let them have a childhood like a normal kid because if you take it away, it's going to cause serious issues later in their life. once it's gone, it's gone.

@spring984 Месяц назад

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.

@AlisaMiszklevitz Месяц назад

I am not surprised she blocked you. Very ego centric and narcissistic. Mom puts that child on a pedastool. I stopped watching because it was the same thing every live. How the child is so advanced. How they need money but can afford the shopping sprees on Amazon. There is a lot that is not right with the dynamic between mother and child.

@spring984 Месяц назад

Exactly. And the constant “crying” about people saying negative things. That just helped the money pour in I’m sure. The mom is obsessed with getting Ana an acting job. I think the mom needs an acting job!

Yep, this little girl is going to end up like a lot of child stars. When they grow up and the novelty wears off the RU-vid money and fame will dry up. At that point when she's an adult it's likely a depression will set in. Hopefully that doesn't happen, but the odds aren't in her favor. The mother is definitely treating her daughter like the goose that laid the golden egg and in some respect that's true. I'm sure this girl will keep making Mom some good money until it end when she gets older.

I was quite similar to this girl as a kid, not gifted by any means, but a very advanced vocabulary and the ability to verbally express myself better than most adults, cheerful demeanor, lost in my fantasy world. The danger of that is when people get the impression you're sooooooo mature for a kid, they unconsciously expect you to be able to match that level of ability in other aspects of your life as well. When in reality, you may actually have significant delays/disabilities in other areas, though they may not be as noticeable from the outside when you're intelligent or verbally very strong. So I wasn't taken seriously, I didn't get the support or accommodations I needed and looked lazy and like I wasn't living up to my potential. Dropped out of school at 15, was never able to get a degree or a job. 30 Years old, can't feed or wash myself, will never be an independent adult. Do not be fooled.

It's really difficult to find the happy medium between allowing them to develop emotionally alongside their peers without them getting bored with the equivalent education level..My daughter is Aspergers with a very high IQ (she is now 33)..She was accelerated through school to a point where at Ana's age she was already mixing with kids in their mid teens..in hindsight it was a mistake..but, unknowingly, we assumed the choices the school system offered were the best..As an adult she now struggles terribly with friendship and social situations..

@@MickeyGee73I always thought they should have accelerated learning academies or learning centers. I mean they will have special classes. Yes, they're actually technically a part of special education. People just don't realize that they'll name it like Target or whatever that are more advanced, but they're not really that much more advance. I'm not a fan of the term gifted because it kind of implies that other kids aren't gifted or it can easily be treated as if someone who may have a disability may not also be gifted at the same time. It should be just considered accelerated learning which is what it is.

My daughter was like this growing up, like she had been round a couple of times before. Loads of frustration as a toddler as her little body was not mature enough to do what her mind wanted. Told me at the age of 3 she was ready to be independent and live on her own. She struggled in main stream school, was excluded and studied for GCSE’S at home on her own, passed everything. Skipped A levels as she disappeared from home and school to live in squats on her own at 16. Finally came back to the family, diagnosed as autistic with masking as an adult and suddenly everything made sense. Sailed through a masters degree whilst raising the most amazing son of her own, now works as a health professional. Still needs her mother to help her navigate the world and still cannot tell time. Autism is an odd condition. Yes, most people do not see her autistic traits, OCD etc. as a mother it can be really hard coping with these children. They live in a universe of there own.

Everything has to be just so, especially in her apartment and she gets a bit overwhelmed sometimes with the world. She can be a challenge to live with as does not always realise what other people are feeling or how her actions impact on others. For example, I was due to pick up my grandson from school one day and turned up to find out he wasn’t there, bit of a panic but it happened she had got out of work early and collected him herself. She did not see any reason to inform me, and then was bewildered that I was a bit upset with the situation. (It takes my over an hour to get to his school from my office).

why do you expect an autistic 8 y/o to be perfect? she's smarter than other kids her age, but she's still a little kid learning how to navigate the world and will make mistakes. one of the worst things to do to gifted kids is to expect them to be like adults.

@kotul4989 Месяц назад

@@overgrownkudzu And another bad thing you can do to them is convince them they are always right. For one, they will be resentful of anyone correcting their mistakes in the future. Thinking you're always right inhibits learning process, doesn't make you friends also. I was the smartest person in my class (top 2% iq roughly) and I would always let other kids know that I'm more knowledgeable and smarter overall. That ended poorly. Also, highly intelligent people experience a lot of frustration with the world, or rather people and their creations, around them. So far I've found out only humility and patience get you through day to day. Or alcohol, although I don't use it outside being with a group of people I don't particularly enjoy and we happen to be at the bar. So, I really hope she learns that early.

@beanboat. Месяц назад

@@overgrownkudzui think this commenter meant quite the opposite ! meaning her mother should teach her she's not perfect and that's okay because nobody is. obviously everyone telling her how smart she is leads to a higher standard than others and that could be internalized which is why she might not be able to admit when she's wrong.

@HeliNoir Месяц назад

I do agree with that since I was also a gifted kid and humility is the HARDEST quality I’ve been working on ever since. There are a lot of things I got a way with as a kid but also alienated me from people aside from already being an late diagnosed autistic … because it’s part of the social cues that we don’t know how to navigate and sometimes not even knowing that we are wrong is detrimental to our growth and it’s okay to be wrong, to treat it as a stepping stone to learn the endless possibilities to reach the correct or right info. Idek where I’m going with this anymore

Yeah. People talked about me like this as a kid- “like a 30 year old in a 10 year old’s body”, “intelligent”, “gifted”, etc (no autism diagnosis at the time, but regardless). The transition to adulthood has been difficult. I think everyone thought I would coast because of the perceived smarts, but that ended up not being the case. Once I got into my tweens and teens anxiety and depression became a big problem. I’m lucky my parents are still supporting me and are cognizant of these issues. I hope she doesn’t encounter such barriers, but important to be aware of in case she does.
