Neuroversity
Word of the Week: Hyperlexia
Show Notes

It’s time for another entry into the Word of the Week series-where I pick a word well known or often used among those in the neurodiversity community, and try to understand it more in the context of my world in hopes to build a bridge of understanding to a broader community.  

This week we will learn:

  • What is hyperlexia
  • The three types of hyperlexia
  • The prevalence of hyperlexia in the neurodivergent population
