Presentation
However, not all autistic individuals present hyperlexia and not all children with hyperlexia present autism, although evidence shows that hyperlexia is a phenomenon that is observed with greater frequency in autism and in ASD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The purpose of this presentation is to examine systematically various definitions and classifications of hyperlexia in the literature. [triplesr.org]
This allows the student to focus clearly on information being presented without distractions. At PRIDE Learning Center our teachers deliver each lesson one-to-one in a patient and nurturing environment. [pridelearningcenter.com]
While these advanced skills may be present in people with Autism, it is more likely that the speech is scripted—meaning practiced and taken from other conversations. [aspiewriter.com]
The extreme discrepancy in reading fluency and comprehension presented might be relegated to a “Comprehension Disorder,” which does not capture this profound of a semantic disconnect. [academic.oup.com]

Overeating
Hearing a child read a book aloud to his or her preschool classmates is a bit of a jarring experience, or seeing an 18-month-old child reading aloud the names of all the over-the-counter drugs as he or she passes by them seated nicely in the shopping [agnesian.com]
Darold Treffert, MD, has been studying people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder for over 50 years. In his 2013 guest blog in Scientific American, he describes three types of hyperlexia. [doctormichaelhart.com]
If one can have more normalized senses, then there are fewer over-loads and a reduction in “self-stimming” behaviors. [aithelps.com]
I have over 150 such cases now in which the outcome is so positive that the follow-up messages from relieved parents are a source of continual professional satisfaction. Here is a brief description of those conditions. [blogs.scientificamerican.com]

Tantrums
These children are also described as having non-compliant behaviors, ritualistic behaviors, difficulty with transitions, tantrum behaviors, anxiety, and difficulty in socializing with peers. [eric.ed.gov]
Jay was the more advanced twin in motor co‐ordination, attention span and receptive abilities, but had frequent tantrums. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Children who are gifted may act out, have temper tantrums, and behave in a way that is self-centered. Children who are autistic may display less sensitivity to other's feelings in these situations than typical children. [verywellfamily.com]
Routine, ritualistic behaviors, tantrums, sensitivity to sensory input (noise, taste, touch), general anxiety and specific unusual fears. These behaviors subside substantially as growth in language, generally at age 4 to 5. [brighttots.com]

Hyperlexia and Autism Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by behavioral problems and difficulty communicating. Sometimes, children with autism may exhibit above-average abilities in one or two specific aspects of learning. [verywellfamily.com]
Frankie does not fit into the smaller self contained classes because cognitively he is ahead, but he still has transitional issues and small behavioral problems, some anxiety, so he can’t just be thrown into a gen ed class with one teacher. [hyperlexia3.com]

Perseveration
It varies from unemotional, high and low voice pitches, perseveration, pronoun reversals and peculiar use of words or phrases. Comprehending of a single word, exceeds comprehension of sentences. [brighttots.com]
Workup
Such a workup would generally occur at a child developmental or similar clinic and the multi-disciplinary team would ordinarily include a speech and language therapist. [agnesian.com]
Treatment
Intervention and treatment in this group is directed at the underlying Autistic Disorder. [wisconsinmedicalsociety.org]
AIT is one of the few programs that is helpful for the treatment of Hyperlexia (ASD – autism spectrum disorders.) [aithelps.com]
Treatment can still be applied to target symptoms, but parents or others can, in those cases, be spared the unnecessary worry and fear that can accompany certain diagnoses prematurely applied. [blogs.scientificamerican.com]
If treatment goes well, hyperlexic child ren should be able to function as shy kindergarten ers, and later as gifted students who are able to figure out their own ways to overcome or take advantage of their condition. [everything2.com]
The treatment is the same as that for autism and there is no cure for the condition. [disorders.org]
Prognosis
Importantly, though, it appears that in the latter instance the prognosis overall is quite good. [wisconsinmedicalsociety.org]
(To be clear, this is just my speculation, but I have read at least some research that traits such as affectionateness and learning to read improve prognosis and also improve responsiveness to intervention.) [giftedissues.davidsongifted.org]

Clinical presentation, course of the illness and prognosis are those typically seen in autistic spectrum disorders. [blogs.scientificamerican.com]
Autistics with hyperlexia have a unique learning style and a better prognosis than those without this reading skill. [mugsy.org]
