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>

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>

anomalon :gi:I just came across this image in my folders and it still cracks me up.

Oisín<a href="https://weirder.earth/@MerlinJStar" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@MerlinJStar</a> That's a really interesting observation, and I think that's mostly the same for me as well. But when I'm running low, maintaining concentration can be an issue, so I sometimes need to swap to reading something different. Though that's really only ever a question of what I can read, not whether I can read. <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/hyperlexia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hyperlexia</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>

Autistic Fairy<a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/Hyperlexia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hyperlexia</a> can look and feel like <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/Dyslexia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dyslexia</a>.I read faster than my ability to process it. My brain is word-hungry and forages for delicious information like a hunter-gather looking for the juiciest fruits. The words jumble up because I jump from place to place in the sentence/paragraph.As a child I was an advanced reader, but now as an adult I would probably be picked up on a dyslexia test. I often wonder if some dyslexics are actually hyperlexics.<a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#actuallyautistic</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/autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autistic</a>
