However, she will be receiving a master's degree in engineering.

Unbelievably, Adhara completed elementary school at the age of five and graduated from both middle and high school just a year later, at the age of six and eight, respectively.

Adhara Pérez Sánchez is actively pursuing her dream to work for NASA one day.

Currently, she is working with the Mexican Space Agency to promote space exploration and mathematics to young girls.

When Adhara was three years old, her speech development regressed. She also began to crawl quickly and rock herself in her high chair.

These behaviors led to her diagnosis of autism.

Sanchez’s mother discussed how her daughter started to isolate herself after being teased by her classmates because of her condition in an interview with Marie Claire. 

"The teachers were not very empathetic, they told me that I wish she would finish an assignment," her mother, Nayeli Sánchez, said in the interview.

"She began to exclude herself, she did not want to play with her classmates, she felt strange, different."

She continued: "She could be at school for a while but then she couldn't, she fell asleep, she didn't want to do things anymore."

"She was very depressed, people did not have empathy, they made fun of her."

As a result of the unfavorable conditions, Sanchez had to change schools three times.

But her spark remained intact.

The mother noticed that Sanchez was able to memorize the periodic table in full and had even taught herself algebra.

Having assumed that her daughter was just bored, she enrolled her in therapy.

The therapist recognized the spark of genius instantly and advised the Center for Attention to Talent (CEDAT), a school for gifted children.

After an initial test it was confirmed that her IQ was a whopping 160, that's higher than both Albert Einstein and her muse, Stephen Hawking.

Adhara Pérez Sánchez has already earned a bachelor's degree in systems engineering from CNCI University.

The pre-teen prodigy is now pursuing a Master's program in mathematics at the Technological University of Mexico.

She spoke to Goalast and said of her interest in space travel after being named after a star in the Canis Major constellation: "I want to go to space and colonize Mars.

"If you don’t like where you are, imagine where you want to be. I see myself at NASA, so it’s worth a try."

Adhara aims to study astrophysics at the University of Arizona, where she received a scholarship offer that had to be deferred due to visa issues.

She told Marie Claire Mexico that she hopes to finish her G-tests at the age of 17, it will allow her to man flights through an agency that supports young scientists.

Her goal is to become the first autistic person to fly.
