It's very late here (Australia) so I'm just saying a quick g'day and letting you know I will respond in much more detail when I have had a decent night's sleep. Well, tomorrow morning, anyhow!
We're also dealing with various forms of autism & Asperger's as well as hyperlexia. difficult child 3 was interviewed on TV a few weeks ago, I havne't got time to grab te link for you but if you Google "Sunday night" and "channel 7" that TV show's website should come up fairly high. Then when you get into it, look for the link called "autism solution". difficult child 3 was the only autistic kid interviewed personally, he is a great example of just how far an autistic kid can come, from non-verbal to doing really well in an academic mainstream school program.
I'll talk more tomorrow!
