I started school at age 7. There was no difference what so ever between me and other kids by high school.

In Switzerland age 7 is the standard age to start school. Swiss children are usually doing well enough in international comparisons. Not to say this proves anything, just another data point.

Did you start learning to read at 7, or had you already had some training?
