Wow, simply astounding!! And kudos to his parents for helping his early development. I'm not taking anything away from him, HE has earned his achievements. But I'm sure have a supportive parent/ parents encouraged him to reach for the stars. Way to go young man! The world is yours!
I would totally spend time with this guy. I would say that because he’s so young it would be easier to “connect” with him… I don’t care if he’s young, if I can learn from him that’s a plus
When the difference is that much, they won't mind and even find it endearing. However, if he was 1 or 2 years younger, and tutoring those high school kids, you can bet he would be in a lot of trouble.
Phenomenal. Let’s hope he continues to have stability and doesn’t get too bored and frustrated with others ! Hopefully he will continue to excel and have a great life❤
Perhaps his parents actually paid attention to him far more often than other parents... Nobody seems to think about that. I mean, I've seen 2-year-olds who get little to no attention that can't form a simple sentence or even speak a word... The opposite must be something like this 🙂👍

Good on him seriously i hope this Kid will change the world in a positive way brilliant minds will reshape the world making it a better place i hope he goes to high places :D i would be super proud
"Highschool experience" is over-rated. If someone is ready to move on, let them move on! My son was stifled in elementary school and told he needed meds bc he was reading literature during math class bc he already knew what to do. But that was the beginning of Common Core in Massachusetts and he was deemed a "problem." We moved the next year and homeschooled. He's a flourishing robotics apprentice at Mercedes-Benz and making more than I did as a corporate marketing specialist at 40. He's 20. And college debt-free. WINNING! Screw that teacher that said he should be drugged!
I thought this was a Ben quote when I first started reading your comment. I know Ben has talked about how his parents had to push the school for him to jump grade levels. I wish I had been able to do so, I needed to be challenged and I wasn’t so I got bored. I hope our education system changes for the better in the future.
You can call it what you want, parenting, method of delivery, how well the mother took care of herself during the pregnancy but really all this is is that typical , small handful of miracle children that just develop a rapidly developing, larger brain. All it is.
The problem is that this kid will be an oddball his entire life. People in their 20s don't want to hang out with a 15-year old. It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.
When I was in elementary school sixth grade we had a second grader put in with us and she was the smartest kid in our class. She went all the way through high school with us and graduated at about each 14. She didn't have many friends and seemed like a total oddball to the rest of us though she was extremely smart obviously. I think she had a horrible high school experience and probably very few memories or friends
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 Exactly. They're ahead intellectually, but emotionally they are still adolescents and immature. My girlfriend's daughter graduated from Harvard at age-17 and ranked fourth in her class. Sounds great, but she's now 27, never had a boyfriend or been kissed, his highly volatile, anti-social, and was just diagnosed as having autism. The mother is desperately trying to get her daughter help, so this girl can carry on conversation or take a shower regularly. This daughter who now has a master's degree makes zero money and is unemployable. But if you'd like to sit with her for 12-hours and discuss advanced mathematics till your little heart's content-- she's your girl. It's all she can do is math. Very sad.
Let me add that this is back in the 1980s. I'd never forgot this. I also thought she was extremely immature and I think it's because she was always so much younger than everybody they talked down to her like a little and she in turn acted like one as well despite her extremely high intelligence. That said I have no idea what happened to her
Guess what? Highly intelligent people don’t want to hang out with mediocre minded people, no matter their age. But everyone wants to be respected and included.
His intelligence is very impressive🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!!! What matters most though is character. High Intelligence is asset but good character is a necessity. You can’t always be in control of your intelligence, but you are always in control of your character. Having said that he seems like a great kid!😊
I mean, this can't be very advocative for that university. Either Minnesota wanted a gimmick, or their curriculum is not that challenging. There can't physically be enough time in a day for one to shove about 20 years of education into a 15-year old.
@WhoBeSilly The public school system is close to useless. You would be surprised how many people with the right upbringing along with the right personality combined with their intelligence could do this. It isn't just about intelligence.
Hopefully he remains stimulated and finds joy in life. I know these cases are usually a problem because they advance through life too quickly and skip school which is important for reasons excluding academics.
Yeah I agree. But I wonder if he actually progressed emotionally faster aswell as intelect. I got no idea but maybe that means that he has a chance to progress correctly and he jusy moves through life faster....
@@greysongriffiths1439 I had watched a couple of other videos about him. He is one of the best cases out there. Emotionally, he is still a kid his age, and can easily talk to his peers and relate to them. He loves D & D, and playing with his neighbours.
A lot of what rounds off a successful person is emotional development, ability to fail, ability to be criticized, ability to accept the illogical ways of the masses. Never saw this level of savant beneficial in the long run.
Yes. That is my husband. I have watched it for almost 40 years. Unfairness can be harder on them, too, and life here on third rock from the sun can be deeply unfair.
COULD not agree MORE he needs to look at programs like mensa and check out programs like full bright college match to take advantage of some of the top opportunities he can get himself. Being in a different area is huge too. He is only 15 so he still has a long way to go

Yep people don’t understand that this too is a special need; just the complete opposite of a kid who has challenge learning.

@@Anacaona92Well put! Without a support group there is a tremendous emotional strain on bright kids. I was one of those kids.

Even Sheldon Cooper's not that smart. This kid was college by the age of 10. Sheldon didn't start college until he was 11. Although Sheldon did graduate at 14, not 15.
I went to high school with a 10-year-old. He was also taking classes at UCLA. He played in the orchestra. But he was 10 through and through. Told corny jokes. He was a kid. We took care of him. I wonder where he is now. By the way, he wasn't the smartest kid in school. Just the most ambitious.
Many colleges don't take kids that young. They usually just specialize in an area or two and aren't well rounded everywhere. College math capabilities doesn't mean college lit or history or other requirements. Usually they have a special program not available to others.
@@joelwillems4081 Thank you for your insight. I don't know if he was enrolled at UCLA in the normal sense. He was taking some classes For all I know he could have been an experiment. All I can tell you is that he played violin in the orchestra ( I was concertmaster) and he was quite good musically. He was in my AP history class and at every question he raised his hand and squirmed like he had to pee. When he was called, his answers were thoughtful and he backed them up with reference to our study material. As for math, he came into my trig class and tried to test out of it. That didn't work. The teacher basically said that trig needed study. It's not the kind of thing where you can just wing it. He was a well-rounded kid. Nothing close to an idiot savant.
Okay so this 12 year old can skip years of schooling to get his masters but i can’t skip useless classes to provide to society? I have to fork over overpriced time wasting tuition?
I don't know how exactly how it works but yeah you probably could have. AP classes in highschool and choosing a good college that doest have to many unnecessary and he skipped because he was good enough
A lot of super smart kids like this have extremely narcissistic, psychopathic parents and do very poorly in their adult years. I hope and pray that he breaks the pattern.
you cant make this shit up lol, you called the president dumb and in the very same sentence said "smarter than ARE president" ... america ladies and gentlemen (edit: hehe he edited out his miss speling)
I have a friend like this. He had his Masters 15. He say being fast tracked was the worst thing to happen to him. He could not do most of the things his friends did in college. And that was just the tip of the ice berg.
If you're studying to be a musician, some of the best education you can get on the performance end is ensemble playing in a hot, noisy room full of drunks. I couldn't have got that if I'd been too young to be in the room in the first place. I wouldn't have paid tuition just for that, but it definitely benefitted me.
I can see that. Most people here forget that life is much more than academic studies. He can be number one in one area of life, and all alone in another.
Eh. It's just envy or the grass is always greener effect. I'm the end your friend with a master's was better off. And I would have been better off not learning every college experience at the appropriate age...I might have actually obtained the degree I was there to get. Envy is everywhere is all I'm saying. But the school system in the US is a joke. I think most kids possess this ability to absorb massive amounts of information. But our slow, impatient, and ignorant selves won't stop to consider that a toddler can learn complex math. That maybe if we approached teaching our own children with the same enthusiasm as we do with say keeping up with the Joneses.... then just maybe we can leave a generation of people that can fix our screwed up planet
I love learning about this stuff, this kid has a whole new level of deep processing, which is actually the reason why there is variation in academic achievement and genetics is a great contribution to the levels we have individually.
Good job. That's no easy feat. My cousin just graduated high school and with his associates a few weeks ago. I think it's amazing. You should be very proud!!
You are special. I didn’t get associate’s degree until I was 22 and a single parent. Keep going. Get as much education as you want. I just obtained a master’s degree at nearly 50. Get it while your brain is young.
Awesome! I remember teaching myself how to read when I was like 5 years old and then reading to the other kids in kindergarten :D My mum told me, one evening she was reading me a bedtime story and got tired, so I asked her if I should take over and she was just confused "but you can't read?" and I proceeded to take the book and fluently read a text I didn't know, without any punctuation (and after she explained that to me, I was like "Oh, I was wondering what those dots and lines were for" xD But then again, I usually talked that way, haha xD)
As my friend in law school said, "You don't get thoroughbreds by crossing a jackass with a mule. I was quite lucky to have two thoroughbreds as parents.
I pray this kid will also know love, and fun, and that he will be able to see the softer facts of life, like the beauty of a sunset. Some brilliantly smart people never allow their minds to see things BEYOND the numbers... ❤❤❤❤
Is he now? Would you rather he sit idly in a classroom with peers his own age, watching them fumble around trying to decipher basic fractions while he twiddles his thumbs? Boredom is a recipe for disaster when there are no academic challenges. His whole life isn’t school. Just the same as your kids. If you have any..
if it makes anyone feel better, yeah this kid is smart but just know he was robbed of a childhood. I’m glad i was out there being a kid instead of punching numbers…
Imagine how far we would be if people actually supported the unrelated and unconnected people. Where I went to school advancement was discouraged by all means available to them, unless you were a school board member’s/teacher’s child.
Him saying "I want to unlock the secrets of the universe" while sitting next to a bunch of angry birds stickers on his wall is absolutely insane 😂
My guys got taste 😂 I personally think the movies are hilarious 😂
If you only study the secrets of the universe and do not watch silly things, you don’t have time to decompress.

Bro is a young Sheldon irl
Is “bro”?
Young Sheldon is an ass. This kid is BETTER.
@@zerox1893 yes
That's what I came to say
Except he seems more polite and sociable and Sheldon.
Nothing makes me feel better, than to watch a five year old be better at me in life.
I wish I was a big enough person to not harbor some shred of resentment and envy. However at the same time I’m aware people like this suffer from unfathomable isolation, amongst other mental heath issues. He’s clearly autistic and likely doesn’t have anyone to relate to.
lol
English specifically
I feel this😢
Don't worry, these kids often burn out by the time they hit their twenties.
Wow, simply astounding!! And kudos to his parents for helping his early development. I'm not taking anything away from him, HE has earned his achievements. But I'm sure have a supportive parent/ parents encouraged him to reach for the stars. Way to go young man! The world is yours!
I think he was just born that way
Love that there are students who have no issue getting help from someone so young.
The teachers do though😂
I would totally spend time with this guy. I would say that because he’s so young it would be easier to “connect” with him… I don’t care if he’s young, if I can learn from him that’s a plus
They're the same age. He's 15 tutoring high schoolers.
But just imagine being a senior being taught by a freshman. And then imagine being an adult teacher who was less competent than a freshman age teacher
When the difference is that much, they won't mind and even find it endearing. However, if he was 1 or 2 years younger, and tutoring those high school kids, you can bet he would be in a lot of trouble.
It’s not genetics, his parents were just smart enough to take extra time teaching him
I was told by two I knew the alphabet and counted to 100. But who knows?
Yeah, combination of many factors probably, dude got lucky and still worked hard.
At 15 I was still looking at my hands to remember my left and right 😅
I'm 21 and I still imagine which hand I put over my eyes for shema to remember....
I am 24 and I already forgot my left and right 😢

It doesnt mean he'll be a saint

As long as he continues to be sheltered and nurtured and channeled into using his talents. And not treated like Harrison Bergeron.
Phenomenal. Let’s hope he continues to have stability and doesn’t get too bored and frustrated with others ! Hopefully he will continue to excel and have a great life❤
I imagine he had lots of enrichment, encouragement and support from both of his parents.
Wow it’s crazy to think people argue that intelligence is just a result of what opportunities they had
Perhaps his parents actually paid attention to him far more often than other parents... Nobody seems to think about that. I mean, I've seen 2-year-olds who get little to no attention that can't form a simple sentence or even speak a word... The opposite must be something like this 🙂👍
Development and environment do play a large role.

When he was called, his answers were thoughtful and he backed them up with reference to our study material. As for math, he came into my trig class and tried to test out of it. That didn't work. The teacher basically said that trig needed study. It's not the kind of thing where you can just wing it. He was a well-rounded kid. Nothing close to an idiot savant.
Kid's gotta build himself an Ironman suit of armor soon.
God blessed that kid.
Ben watching this kid like old Sheldon when the Asian kid shows up in BBT! 😂😂…it’s all love Ben!!
Okay so this 12 year old can skip years of schooling to get his masters but i can’t skip useless classes to provide to society? I have to fork over overpriced time wasting tuition?
I don't know how exactly how it works but yeah you probably could have. AP classes in highschool and choosing a good college that doest have to many unnecessary and he skipped because he was good enough
At the subjectd
Looks like Ben with a different hairstyle… Thank you for your leader ship and your humility
I can't wait to see what he does in the future.
Probably create a new weapon that will devastate the entire planet
Haha
Nothing extraordinary. I’ve seen these cases before.
A lot of super smart kids like this have extremely narcissistic, psychopathic parents and do very poorly in their adult years. I hope and pray that he breaks the pattern.
Wow thats incredible. Good on the parents for facilitating such growth
Already smarter than our president, AT BIRTH.
you cant make this shit up lol, you called the president dumb and in the very same sentence said "smarter than ARE president" ... america ladies and gentlemen (edit: hehe he edited out his miss speling)

@@mlane2182 "smarter than are president" he must be speaking american and not english if that is considered correct, good to know
More people like this in our society please!
I have a friend like this. He had his Masters 15. He say being fast tracked was the worst thing to happen to him. He could not do most of the things his friends did in college. And that was just the tip of the ice berg.
If you're studying to be a musician, some of the best education you can get on the performance end is ensemble playing in a hot, noisy room full of drunks. I couldn't have got that if I'd been too young to be in the room in the first place. I wouldn't have paid tuition just for that, but it definitely benefitted me.
@@cisium1184 Did you have friends, or bar colleagues?
Hard agree, no one in college is going to want to hang out with a 15 year old. He can't even drive in many places, let alone party or drink.
I can see that. Most people here forget that life is much more than academic studies. He can be number one in one area of life, and all alone in another.
Eh. It's just envy or the grass is always greener effect. I'm the end your friend with a master's was better off. And I would have been better off not learning every college experience at the appropriate age...I might have actually obtained the degree I was there to get.
Envy is everywhere is all I'm saying. But the school system in the US is a joke. I think most kids possess this ability to absorb massive amounts of information. But our slow, impatient, and ignorant selves won't stop to consider that a toddler can learn complex math. That maybe if we approached teaching our own children with the same enthusiasm as we do with say keeping up with the Joneses.... then just maybe we can leave a generation of people that can fix our screwed up planet
He seems like a nice kid. Eccentric, but helpful.
I was just waitng for them to say he's trans, which obviously would be the most important thing about him. I could've sworn it was coming.
I love learning about this stuff, this kid has a whole new level of deep processing, which is actually the reason why there is variation in academic achievement and genetics is a great contribution to the levels we have individually.
I remember this kid... With the crazy mother 🤨
How was she crazy?
When I was 15 I was listening to heavy metal and enjoyed it!
I just got my associates at 18, I’m over here feeling all special… the I see this lol.
Good job. That's no easy feat. My cousin just graduated high school and with his associates a few weeks ago. I think it's amazing. You should be very proud!!
You are special. I didn’t get associate’s degree until I was 22 and a single parent. Keep going. Get as much education as you want. I just obtained a master’s degree at nearly 50. Get it while your brain is young.
Time for a long awaited sequel, the Young Elliot
I pray that this young person does great things and has children. We need more intelligence in the world.
Dang, you get it all done before you're 15, that's pretty good.
At 15? Damn. Bro is definitely a reincarnated protagonist with cheats. 😅
Love Elliot. He is an amazing human with a brilliant mind.
We found the main character with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️
All that education and he doesn't know what a boy's haircut is.
Love how he was teaching students but is still being a kid 😂
When you need help in class and young Sheldon pulls up!
I was waiting in suspense. Glad the story didn't end with affirming surgery
He won the genetic lottery by receiving such a high intelligence. Hopefully he uses it wisely.
He also quotes Mean Girls! 😂 What an awesome kid
People select speech, or strength, or agility.
But when God asked this young man where he wants his ability points, he put them on Batman.
Glad he's on our side.
As opposed to what side? What could he provide that would endanger us if he weren't on "our side"?
he has been blessed by the almighty. God bless this child in ALL his endeavors.
I love this I wish more and more people will grow up like this 🥹
Sheldon is that you?
That’s incredible. Hats off to this young man
Awesome! I remember teaching myself how to read when I was like 5 years old and then reading to the other kids in kindergarten :D
My mum told me, one evening she was reading me a bedtime story and got tired, so I asked her if I should take over and she was just confused "but you can't read?" and I proceeded to take the book and fluently read a text I didn't know, without any punctuation (and after she explained that to me, I was like "Oh, I was wondering what those dots and lines were for" xD But then again, I usually talked that way, haha xD)
I rolled over at 4 weeks old. I guess that's when I peaked 😄
As my friend in law school said, "You don't get thoroughbreds by crossing a jackass with a mule. I was quite lucky to have two thoroughbreds as parents.
Inferior people are afraid of intelligent people.
I pray this kid will also know love, and fun, and that he will be able to see the softer facts of life, like the beauty of a sunset. Some brilliantly smart people never allow their minds to see things BEYOND the numbers... ❤❤❤❤
That poor kid is having his whole childhood stolen from him.... Very sad. Shame on the parents!
Is he now?
Would you rather he sit idly in a classroom with peers his own age, watching them fumble around trying to decipher basic fractions while he twiddles his thumbs?
Boredom is a recipe for disaster when there are no academic challenges.
His whole life isn’t school. Just the same as your kids. If you have any..
I hope this kid doesn't hit rock bottom like so many prodigies did. He has so much potential.
if it makes anyone feel better, yeah this kid is smart but just know he was robbed of a childhood. I’m glad i was out there being a kid instead of punching numbers…
bro wasn't born with brain, he was born with supercomputer instead

Imagine how far we would be if people actually supported the unrelated and unconnected people.
Where I went to school advancement was discouraged by all means available to them, unless you were a school board member’s/teacher’s child.
she's every asian parents dream child 😂
I thought he was going to say "Just 5 years after his story first aired Elliot was dead."
Let’s just hope he doesn’t turn out to be an evil genius, but a good genius 😂
His parents taught him, he just learns really fast. I wish i could love math like that.
