[QUOTE="SRL, post: 44149, member: 701"] Hyperlexic children vary widely in their comprehension skills. Obviously when they are preschoolers who can read anything put before them there is a huge discrepancy. We'd expect a 3 year old to know what B-A-L-L is but not to comprehend the word P-S-Y-C-H-I-A-T-R-Y even if they could pronounce it flawlessly. As they progress, Hyperlexic children do have higher frequencies of reading comphension problems but there are children whose comprehension skills are very good. There are also those who struggle with comprehension when it comes to areas they might be weak in such as abstract thought or social interactions. There is no hard and fast rule on this. A neuropsychologist is a psychologist with a phD, which consists of coursework and clinical experience specifically in diagnosing issues in the neurological, mental health, and learning disability realm. They aren't medical doctors thus can't prescribe medications. A developmental pediatrician is an MD, a pediatrician who has extra coursework and clinical training in childhood developmental and behavioral issues. A behavioral neurologist trains first as an MD, then as a neurologist, and then apparently gets additional training in pediatric behavioral issues. I just found this link--it probably explains the differences better.
