I doubt it means they don't like what you said. Most likely they're trying to move the conversation on to a new tangent or topic, which is a natural and normal part of conversation. If you've been talking a while and it the topic change seems abrupt, consider the possibility that you may have missed...

My son is definitely hyperlexic and shares most of the traits you guys just listed- but most of those are considered part of the core hyperlexia definition. BUT that definition is commonly presented with the caveat: usually but not always associated with the autism spectrum. And of course those core...

We've been seeing a SLP for over a year now but have yet to seek an official diagnosis for a few reasons (strategic, dealing with a unique set of school district transfer issues).

Hi, I have a hyperlexic three year old son (my own dx-- we haven't got an official one yet) and I am battling frustration on a daily basis trying to figure out how to get him to tune in and share attention with me.

Just wanted to introduce myself, and my son. I'm here for support and to hopefully connect with people that can help me to better understand how to parent my son. I'm NT, but I have a family full of engineers, scientists, and musicians-- lots of very analytic, introverted perfectionists-- and betwee...
