Abstract

Hyperlexia is an extraordinary skill for spontaneous early reading in the background of an autistic child with serious linguistic disorders. Generally it is a mechanical skill in the transcodification of graphemes to phonemes but there is lack of comprehension. We present the clinical characterization of a case of hyperlexia in an autistic boyas a transcortical developmental aphasia that originated perhaps in a neurodevelopment disconnection syndrome.
