Hi. How old is your son? Does he go to school? Does he receive special ed? My son is 3 years old. We are in the middle of an evaluation for special education programs. I have heard the term hyperlexia mentioned. How does your son do socially now? Does he have friends? I am so upset about all the possibilities ranging from autism to aspergers. I haven't found any one person who seems able to help. I did put my name on the hyperlexia mail list but is there one person (medical profession) that you've found to be helpful. Thanks. Susan
: My son has Hyperlexia. It is similar to Aspergers. I found wonderful support and information on the Hyperlexia website (link below). There are also links to Aspergers. I was on a Hyperlexia mail list for several years, all the parents were so encouraging.
