Hyperlexia III is a less frequently recognized form of hyperlexia. It is not an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), even though there are some autistic-like traits and behaviors that gradually fade as the child gets older. These children read early, often show striking memorization abilities, and sometimes have precocious abilities in other areas as well. They may show unusual sensory sensitivity, echolalia, pronoun reversals, intense need for sameness and resistance to change, specific fears or phobias, have lining/stacking rituals, and/or strong visual and auditory memory. Unlike children with ASD, however, they are often very outgoing and affectionate with family, even though reserved and distant with peers and would-be playmates. They do make eye contact and can be very interactive with persons close to them. These children seem quite bright, inquisitive, and precocious in some areas overall. Reading and memorization are conspicuous and often quite amazing. There may other autistic-like behaviors as well. But over time, they fade, and these children are then quite typical for their age. The prognosis for these children is excellent as they outgrow the “autism” they never had.
