I also have a son who is both autistic and hyperlexic. At age 4, I'm sure he had a bit more vocabulary than your son but almost none of it was functional.  Basically he could label a few things but not communicate basic needs and wants. Sounds similar to mine. Although he can say "drink" ...

Hi there. First of all, thanks for your answer. I really appreciate any suggestions and help! You aren't hopeless. The honest truth is no one can give you an accurate prognosis. I am a worrier by nature, but honestly the best thing I have done, is to put most of that aside. Being functional in a neu...

Yes he does have other behaviours but grom what i have read these behaviours can be also seen in hyperlectic children, that's what made me wonder. He's generally calm, he only has meltdowns when he goes to the hairdresser, and not with all hairdressers. He learned to wave and say hi when you tell hi...

He had selective eye contact, meaning that he would give eye contact to the people he chose to. This was april 2016. Since then, he attended preschool a...
