Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi n and Gail! My name is , and I have a 5 year old son with hyperlexia and ASD. I've heard hyperlexia defined as precious reading and I've heard it described as a fascination with letters and numbers. Either way, a child with hyperlexia usually has PDD in some way or another. In talking with other mothers, I am surprised by how many other children seem to have hyperlexia. Bobby taught himself to read as well, when he was 2. My son will be starting kindergarten in the fall. I also have 2 younger NT children, a three year old son, Ian, and a one year old, Yoli. Gail, I agree with you when you say the younger NTs are like little therapists! Ian has helped Bobby tremendously when it comes to playing skills!! One thing that I am considering starting with my son is some sort of organized sport or instructional sport lessons. He did have "swimming lessons" at school this past year where the focus was mostly on getting comfortable in the water. I was wondering if anyone had success with team sports, like soccer, or if it would be better focus on individual sports like swimming or gymnastics. Thanks.
