This is why your child can read exceptionally well! It’s called Hyperlexia!

So what is hyperlexia? It is simple the ability to read far beyond your reading age, like a 4 year old reading books for teenagers.

Hyperlexia and autism come hand in hand but! Hyperlexia is a rare condition, so it isn’t within every autistic person.

It is actually possible to have a diagnosis of just hyperlexia without it being co-occurring in autism, but this again is very rare.

It is so commonly linked within autism that a study (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014976341630639X) showed that 84% of children with hyperlexia were on the autism spectrum.

It is a fascinating condition and leads many to wonder if their child is just a gifted child or on the autism spectrum.

Some signs of hyperlexia include:

1.Signs of a developmental disorder
As the children with hyperlexia are able to read really well, they will show other issues in development like learning to speak, etc. They could even be non-verbal.

2.Affinity for books
Children with hyperlexia will have a huge affinity for books and reading for obvious reasons.

3.Ability to learn quickly
Children with hyperlexia will be able to learn to read quickly without much teaching involved.
