25. She Prefers the Company of Adults
For some reason, your six-year-old would rather sit at the adults’ table while all of the grown-ups are drinking coffee and talking about boring adult things instead of playing outside with the kids. When you ask her to go play, she goes to her room and plays by herself instead of joining the others who are playing outside. You may think that she is antisocial and maybe even autistic, and maybe she is. Nevertheless, she is also showing one of Mensa’s classic signs of child genius: she would rather be around adults or by herself than with other kids.
