According to a Daily Mail publication, Quazi has been branded a “profoundly gifted” youngster with a near-superhuman level of intellect.
It was reported that he could speak full sentences when he was just two and could complete complex math equations at six.
The young genius was quoted as saying his school years were a struggle because his peers failed to keep up.
“It was physically painful for me to sit through classrooms trapped, existentially bored, for hours and months — and eventually years — on end, and not learning at the level that I physically, intellectually and emotionally needed,” he said.
“For the people out there that I think are concerned that my childhood is being destroyed, I’m really here to tell you that that’s just not true.”
