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]
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]
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]
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]

First, for those of you who are relatively new to brain science, please don’t over-organize around the complex jargon regarding specific parts of the brain if it’s going to distract you. [doctormichaelhart.com]
If you put them in the bigger classes, they shy away and sometimes get fidgety and distracted easily because they have the speech delay. There is no happy medium for our kids. [hyperlexia3.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]
The treatment is the same as that for autism and there is no cure for the condition. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10349355 Cláudia Cardoso-Martins, Juliane Ribeiro da Silva: Cognitive and language correlates of hyperlexia: evidence from children [disorders.org]
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]
Prognosis
Autistics with hyperlexia have a unique learning style and a better prognosis than those without this reading skill. [mugsy.org]
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]

Levy et al. (2009) provided a general review of autism and autism spectrum disorder, including epidemiology, characteristics of the disorder, diagnosis, neurobiologic hypotheses for the etiology, genetics, and treatment options. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The first part is focused on defining the basic issues, symptoms, etiology and partial diagnosis. [theses.cz]

Prevention
According to Hobson ‘blindness seem to delay rather than prevent development in these respects” (emphasis mine). [wisconsinmedicalsociety.org]
