Hyperlexia

I only learnt this word today. It so, so fits me. Learnt to read early - excellent reading and writing skills but find listening and talking really hard

  • I discovered this word a few months ago, when researching the strengths of autistic people.

    I'm also hyperlexic - I read well from an early age, and was always ahead of my peers in reading and spelling. 

    I also find it difficult to learn by listening - I'm a very visual learner - and I read very fast.
