"Ideally, the whole word should understand hyperlexia - right? That is not going to happen. Even when you do offer a brief explanation of the term...not everyone will understand." - Susan Martins Miller "Reading Too Soon" #Hyperlexia #ThisIsHyperlexia

Check out the book "Drawing a Blank" if you want to learn more about the comprehension challenges common in hyperlexia. FYI, it does have some outdated info on autism, but otherwise is an excellent book. Affiliate link: https://t.co/EWeBRu7zr8 #Hyperlexia #ThisIsHyperlexia

Read the book "Can You See Me?" last week. It's co-authored by a young autistic girl. I love the diary entries that are part of the book - such a brilliant way to educate readers about autism. Excellent book for middle grades and adults. Affiliate link:
