I would have had the same problem - it's part of the reason I react so badly to those "disabled person turned into perpetual child to ease taking care of them" things. When I was four or so, my mother had multiple people with advanced degrees in child development and one pediatrician telling her that I was inherently broken. That I was ahead of the curve now, maybe, but I was going to stop progressing soon. They'd seen it before. I was never going to develop beyond about the level of a six-year-old in any subject. She was looking at a life of taking care of a child in an adult's body.

As it turns out, my issues were that I was very intelligent and mildly autistic. Mom found out when I was six, after deciding that the child development experts and the pediatrician clearly didn't know what they were talking about, since at that point I was, among other things, reading fluently enough to get through 2001: A Space Odyssey with a decent idea of the plot. I'm a college student now. But that could have been me, if things had gone differently.
