Did anyone on here have a hyperlexic kid (learmed to read & talk simuntaneously)?
My DS learned to read and talk simultaneously, but I didn't think that was usually the full definition of hyperlexia? Online I see hyperlexia described as a condition in which the child is very good at written word recognition and yet has trouble understanding speech, for example - that definitely was not true for DS. He was late talking, but early understanding; he also never had excessive echolalia, which I see associated with hyperlexia online. I can write more about how early reading was for DS, but not sure if it's what you're looking for...?
