She got good grades and amassed 17 Advanced Placement credits. She scored 121 on an IQ test, her mother said.
But with her success came teasing, her mother added, and mental health issues.
She started seeing a doctor at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. She later was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism.
