It can be done.
From another article:
The young man's father, Stephen, said Elijah had the same potential as every other child, he was simply encouraged from a young age.
"Find that child's genius... What they like and nurture that," he said. "If you have to seek outside help, then that's what you do, and that's what we did."
He’s going into a STEM field. Smart.
What?! Nobody told him that he is oppressed?
Later, comes the training on how to deal with the secular world, and all it’s doubters. Stay polite, keep cool, stay focused, and don’t prosthelytize during the school day.
With a degree from Southern, he ought to be able to get a government job.
I guess He didn't teach the kid to capitalize "He".
Dis punk, he be aktin wite. kik hiz az.

Snark aside... Kudos to this young man, and his family.
I’ve known two kids that smart.
One was absolutely brilliant but had less than no common sense. He can barely tie his shoes without being reminded.
The other is a young lady who earned her bachelor’s at age 17. Had a Masters soon after. I can’t remember if she got her PhD already.She’s the same age, has a couple years of work under her belt. Last I heard, she decided on law school. She’ll make a formidable attorney.
Elijah has also published a book, applied for several patents,
and hosts a weekly radio show.
*************
I hope Elijah is well rounded and is able to keep a healthy
perspective on life and his journey thru it. He will be
constantly challenged both good and bad by many.
May God Bless his efforts and future.
I hope for him that he manages to do something good.
The only thing is... where do you go from the top at an early age ?
Congrats to the young man... Homeschooling is the best education for kids...
