Shantell PowellI learned to read when I was two or three. I suppose that means I have/had hyperlexia. My vocabulary has gotten me in trouble. I've been accused of being pretentious, but there's no pretense. I know what the words mean. I was also accused of plagiarism in university because "no second year student can write that well."That accusation resulted in serious writer's block. I did the research for my paper, but I couldn't make myself write it. I was worried I'd just be accused of plagiarism again. Another time I wrote a paper and a prof was upset that I used uncommon words without defining them. I didn't know which words she meant because I read a lot and know a lot of words. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to know which words needed to be defined. When I don't know what a word means, I look it up. I love learning new words. I was a very unpopular, bullied child, and I learned my vocabulary from all sorts of books. I read pretty much everything with words, from toilet cleaner labels to Regency romances to westerns to dictionaries to Beowulf. And when I was in high school, I read medical journals for fun. I guess it should be no surprise I ended up being a writer. <a href="https://c.im/tags/hyperlexia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hyperlexia</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingCommunity</a>

Tuomo HI'm now on a Wikipedia streak on all things autistic. It's been a while since I did this kind of thing in Wiki and I'm loving it. Personal discovery of this morning is that hyperlexia, precocious reading, usually without training, highly overlaps with autism. I learned to read when I was four, spontaneously. I don't remember this myself but my mother later told me how I was standing next to her while she was sitting on a chair, reading a letter from her friend. Suddenly I started to read out loud what was said in the letter. Been fascinated by language since then, especially in written form.<a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/hyperlexia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hyperlexia</a>

Katy ElphinstoneAwesome symptom no. 7 Interesting reading and writing skillsSome autistics can read very fast, or very early, and/or in quite unusual styles. For example, mirror writing and reading/writing upside down are among the interesting skills that can be sometimes seen in autistic people (these skills, when seen in more prounounced ways, are known as hyperlexia).<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autism</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Hyperlexia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hyperlexia</a>

Luna_CatrionaI'm hyperlexic. It comes with my autism. It was fuelled by my mother giving me a dictionary the size of a gravestone when I was four years of age. Now she maintains that my struggles with people are my fault because I'm "intimidating" and "try to make people feel small by using words they don't understand."Make it make sense.(In case it needs said, most of my struggles with people come from feeling like I'm in a game and nobody will tell me the rules.)<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autism</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/hyperlexia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hyperlexia</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingCommunity</a>

OisínLots of us watch videos or listen to podcasts at 2x speed, right? This seems to be a pretty well known thing. Less than 1.75 just always seems too slow for me. But this is only true when someone is speaking normally. If someone is reading from a script, it sounds completely unnatural to me, and I can't process it all, even at normal speed, unless I concentrate exceptionally hard. Someone suggested that maybe it's that the average person isn't very good at reading aloud, but I don't think it's that. Even top-rated audiobooks are also entirely impossible to listen to.Doe anyone else relate to any of this, or have any pointers to anything where I could learn more? I've read some stuff on <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/AuditoryProcessingDisorder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuditoryProcessingDisorder</a>, but most of that doesn't apply to me, and I'm struggling to find anything else related.One clue seems to be that stand-up comedy seems to work, even though that's mostly scripted. I don't really know what the difference is, but my guess would be that they work hard at making it sound natural, whereas most people reading speak in a different manner. But I don't have the vocabulary for describing any of this, so don't know how to google for more.<a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/AskingNeurodivergents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskingNeurodivergents</a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/AskingAutistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskingAutistics</a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/AskingADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskingADHD</a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ADHD</a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autism</a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/Hyperlexia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hyperlexia</a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/APD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#APD</a>
