Due to her stellar abilities, her parents also tend to pay less attention to her concerns in favor of her less capable siblings. Phil even compared her to a self-cleaning oven (" Under Pressure").
Having raised by inexperienced parents, Alex learned to be extremely self-reliant at a young age. Claire said to Alex, "I don't know how you don't have a meltdown every day", prompting Alex to break down and hug her. She takes great pride in her schoolwork, much more than Haley or Luke, and she rarely ever has meltdowns regarding her schoolwork - except for once in " Under Pressure", where she rages at her birthday party and after Claire attends an open house, discovering that Alex has to cope with 6 hours worth of homework in total for all her AP classes. She is also shown to be competitive just like her mother, Claire, which she admits is because she is so used to coming in first. Being an overachiever, she tends to address people with sarcasm and condescension, although most of the time, nobody gets her humor. She had a poem published in Highlights Magazine when she was five years old (" Patriot Games").Īlthough Alex is younger than most of her family, she is arguably the most intelligent and well-read, even more than Manny and her lawyer uncle, Mitchell (" Other People's Children"). Claire says that during her pregnancy with Alex, she had a "pregnancy brain", implying that the brainy Alex was strongly competing with her for resources (" When a Tree Falls"). Her older sister Haley is two years older ( Moon Landing ) and her brother Luke is just under a year younger. Alex was conceived in a hotel room in Disneyland (" The Graduates") and the pregnancy was a surprise to her parents (“ Alone Time”).
