Anyone with hyperlexia?

Post Reply New Topic

I wouldn't say I'm a bad reader but having ADHD can make it difficult to read because of attention difficulties. Also I was slightly behind my peers with learning to read; the other girls in the class were in the fast reading group at age 7 while I was still struggling with reading. But I caught up eventually. It was probably more to do with poor attention span.

I can't remember when I started reading. I was reading fairly adult-oriented things around age 6, newspaper articles and such. I don't read books anymore these days so possibly my reading comprehension level have decreased somewhat. Overall good as a child, but not outstanding, as far as I remember.

Not sure if my case counts or it's the opposite of it.
My VIQ is average at best.

I simply can encode/spell, decode/read, have the vocabularies, etc.
Enough to pass, even taken as better and faster reader and writer than my peers and classmates.

Yet I had a negligent reading comprehension then. Verbal comprehension overall.
As a child, I could just pay attention, read and write everything all over, recall everything word-for-word...
And still not understand most it.

By this definition, it seems like hyperlexia. Maybe it is.

Yet I never took pleasure in reading and writing. Never been a precocious reader in any sense.
I might as well be regressing in this area.
