Doctors said he might struggle to learn — but today, Lawson Lundberg has an IQ of 150 and a memory that stuns everyone 🧠✨ Born prematurely with worrying signs, this little boy shocked everyone with what he learned during a power outage… and where life took him next. Full story in this article 👇
This amazing story became known thanks to a reader who sent it to an online portal. It’s about a boy named Lawson Lundberg, a twin who was born early and faced serious health challenges. His story proves that a tough diagnosis from doctors doesn’t mean there’s no hope.
Lawson and his sister were born to Sarah Lundberg later in her life. She already had an older son who was around 25 at the time. After the twins were born, they had to stay in the hospital for several weeks under close watch.
While the baby girl developed normally, Lawson gave the doctors reason to worry. They said his brain was not working as fast as it should, meaning he might struggle with memory, learning, and understanding things compared to other kids.
Sarah remembers that for the first two years, Lawson didn’t talk much and wasn’t very social. But after that, everything changed. He suddenly began picking up words quickly and remembered things he had only overheard from his parents’ conversations.
During a winter snowstorm, the power went out in their area for a few days. In that short time, Lawson learned the names of many countries—and even their capitals! Not only did he catch up with kids his age, but he started learning faster than most of them.
Seeing this, Sarah decided to have Lawson take an IQ test. The results shocked her—his IQ was 150! To compare, Albert Einstein’s IQ was estimated to be between 160 and 180. Even more impressive was Lawson’s strong love for learning and his incredible memory.
Lawson became one of the youngest members of an old and well-known organization for highly intelligent people. To join, you need an IQ of at least 130, which Lawson easily passed.
To give back, Lawson started painting artwork to raise money for a charity called March of Dimes, which helped him and his sister when they were babies in the hospital. He wanted to thank everyone who had donated.
Interestingly, Sarah’s older son also had trouble speaking when he was young. He was born after a tough pregnancy too, but like Lawson, he caught up quickly and eventually earned a doctorate by the age of 29.
Lawson’s story reminds us that even if a child has a slow start, it doesn’t mean they won’t go far. Sometimes, they just need time to grow and learn at their own pace.
