This list is a Hyperlexia list. In the study of Hyperlexia, the experts are still infants. Parents tend to fall into four camps:

1 - Hyperlexia is a Stand Alone Condition
2 - Hyperlexia is a splinter skill of Autism
3 - Hyperlexia coexists with PPD, SPD, or Spectrum disorders
4 - My kid is one of those, I think!

I asked that this group be respected as a Hyperlexia group. All I meant by that was that I would not allow those who INSIST that Hyperlexia cannot be a stand alone diagnosis. I totally respect other points of views, and welcome discussion that supports ALL of us.

On MY list, I also welcome jokes, stories of our personal lives, prayer requests, and stories of our successes. You might even hear me talk about Clay Aiken, Viggo Mortensen or, most recently, Brandon Routh a time or two.

We need each other, and if something you read helps YOU, it might help others. FEEL FREE TO SHARE AND DISCUSS, but respect that others may feel that their child has HYPERLEXIA and HYPERLEXIA alone (like my Hannah Rose).

AND...you are welcome here even if your child DOES NOT have Hyperlexia but shares enough of the symptoms that the conversations help you!

RESPECT, that's all I ask.

RESPECT and the right to somehow stay married to Joe and still date Superman ;-). That's all I ask.

THANK YOU!
