I definitely agree.
I always get yelled at by my parents because I do a lot of computer programming instead of studying.
There's minimal encouragement in this society and I've seen parents pushing kids to get into CS because it pays. Environment has lot to do in making a "genius". And maybe that's why we have crappy programmers here, in India, and the deviants are pulled into the stereotype.
Assuming Pakistan is similar to India, this girl programming at such a young age is definitely a great deal. I don't think people in the first world nations understand this.
