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 hyperlexiaThe three types of hyperlexiaThe prevalence of hyperlexia in the neurodivergent population
