Autism / Autism Spectrum Support Group

Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.

I was looking for a community to join because my little guy has hyperlexia. So I found one on DS and joined and guess what there is only 3 people including me. Funny thing is, is that I think the one girl made a mistake not sure though but I think so and the other woman left. So I am the only one in the community. It figures right. Anyway it made me laugh and I though you would laugh too. Hugs Denise

Ok , the dye is absorbing my brain! What is hyperlexia? I worked as an aide in the public schools off/on 1997-2004 yet have never heard of this, dyslexia, reading things backwards, so is the hyper- reading things so fast that it is not absorbed? I know I should know this, but Alex is not currently reading at all, so I would't know .......Help for the idiot-lexia hugs!

Hi, hyperlexia is reading basically before they should be. Some kids don't know what they are reading just know how to and others know what they are reading. My little guy Brett knows what he is reading and even knows if you spell things out that you don't want. Hugs Denise

I remember my husband and I trying to spell out the names of the Pokemon toys we found for his Christmas stocking and him shouting out the names as we were spelling them.

He was two and a half. :D

For me it's always seemed Evan has an innate ability to decode. Symbols and numbers just make sense to him, much more than the spoken word. His emails read like anyone else's speech, but his speech is very stilted and broken.
