Calculus at seven I can believe, but teaching himself reading at 2 sounds like something that goes against what we know about biological and social development of the child.
And official IQs of 230 and 300 sounds like someone doesn't understand what IQ is or the meaningfulness of measuring/quantifying such in a standardised way.
Obviously the person may be exceptional, and I do not mean to take anything away from Terence in his work that i'm clearly unqualified to comment on (it wouldn't surprise me if a bit of digging shows him unconnected to such claims), but we shouldn't just accept such things as given. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence...
