The three years-old-tot is categorized as being included in the top 1 per cent of the most intelligent people in the world. The boy started to speak at the age of 10 months, and started speaking and talking in full sentences at the age of 20 months. When he was two years old, he could already read, count to 200, recognize and name countries, flags, planets in the solar system, parts of the body and internal organs.
The parents first noticed their child's interest in learning at 18 months old but dismissed his intelligence as normal. But when other people pointed out his unusual cleverness, then the parents came to know about his intelligence. Now Sherwyn has joined the elite, high-IQ society Mensa which only has 100 members aged under 10 years old.
