Hyperlexia is interested in honest, thoughtful, well-written poetry and prose about being autistic, and loving someone with autism. Our journal is a celebration of real life with autism, both the good and the bad.

From Suite101:
"Autism spectrum conditions (ASCs) have become more prevalent in the past several years. As the rate of children being diagnosed with an ASC has increased, so has the media attention. Unfortunately, some of this media attention is negative. Three mothers of autistic children have joined forces to launch a new online journal - Hyperlexia: A Literary Journal Celebrating the Autistic Spectrum. Kerry Cohen, Phoebe Gleeson and Brittney Corrigan provide insight into their journal through an email-based interview:" http://autismaspergerssyndrome.suite101 ... ng_in_2009
