There's an interesting comment section with seven replies to that post on the original web source:

The second one starts off with:
That's inline with Laura's impression but all seven answers take the OP very seriously and try to give appropriate and well considered advice. Most of them stress that at age 13 much is still uncertain and go from there.
Personally, I'm not convinced one way or the other without further detailed knowledge. FWIW.

I thought the same about the writing style. The article mentions that there was some editing but when you go to the original article it still is pretty well written. The thoughts, ability to communicate, cited references, etc. do seem more like they are coming from an adult rather than a child.
In a way this touches on the common myth that psychopaths can be extraordinarily intelligent, but we know they are not. They do have the ability to project an image of intelligence but in general and from what I understand, they are not particularly smart (especially once you discover their maneuvers).
