Reading Disorders: Dyslexia and Hyperlexia...
As far as I can tell I'm hyperlexic. I started reading early and was obsessed even by literature I couldn't understand (I was surprisingly good at pronunciation and comprehension was somewhat lower). I have always been an expert speller, I think it relates to my eye for detail. I did come up with some idiosyncratic pronunciations for things because I'd read words and hear the same words but not make the connection (it took me forever to realize "mysterious" was pronounced the way it is, even though I heard people saying the word all the time). Oddly, I also thought "certainly" was pronounced with a 'k" sound for a while although I knew what it meant both on the page and in the way it was spoken, I just thought of them as two different words, my mind didn't make the connection.
