[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son learned the alphabet and sounds really early on and my daughter’s speech therapist said it was a bad thing and suggested autism (which I do think he has). He’s 6 now and still crazy smart though. [/quote] I’ve heard hyperlexia is linked to ASD. Given our family history I wouldn’t be shocked.[/quote] I know a hyperlexic toddler (with a SAHM that didn't teach it) that was actually reading before 2. He's almost three now and can read anything and is doing multiplication in his head. He hasn't been diagnosed with autism, but many other early signs are starting to show. But some daycares really push letters and kids memorize them, but don't make the jump to actual reading for years. I'd keep an eye on it, and watch for other ASD signs. Either way, enjoy and be proud of your baby![/quote]
