As I said it's not relevant but if you wanted to know you could put in the bare minimum of effort into doing your own research. From Smith and Tsimpli's "The Mind of a Savant": "On the [Gapadol Reading Comprehension Test] Christopher scored at the maximum level, indicating a reading comprehension of 16 years and 10 months".
