Originally diagnosed as PDD-NOS at 16 months, Lucas now has classic signs of hyperlexia. This video is taken at 3 yrs old of him spelling one of the many words he knows. Though we read to him often, no one has shown him how to spell or read. This is all self-learned. Here is a link that explains what hyperlexia is. http://www.wisconsinmedicalsociety.org/savant_syndrome/savant_articles/hyperl...
My son is 3 1/2 and has these same letters and spells/reads like a champ. we just started to think he has some other issues after his first parent teacher preschool conference. after research i think he has hyperlexia type III. can you tell me more about what type of specialists i should go to to have him evaluated and treated? And how is your son now? How old is he?
