Terry Tao's acceleration was anything but automatic. There are various articles, e.g. this one I like this quote:

We were so carried away by the speed of Terry's progress between the ages of 2 and 3 � that we took the rather naive and simplistic view that everything would be very easy and rosy and that if we sent Terence to school early the school would do whatever would be necessary to meet his needs, and he would be able to continue to develop at his own pace (B. Tao, 1985).
