found: Miller, C. Hyperlexia in older children, via WWW, Nov. 7, 2006("The language, learning, and behavior characteristics a young hyperlexic child has are often very distinctive. The precocious, self-taught reading at a young age, or fascination with letters, numbers, and patterns, along with the language-learning and communication difficulties, are unlikely to be missed by parents and others who have a young hyperlexic child in their lives ... By the age of six many of the language difficulties that are so noticeable in younger hyperlexic children are much less obvious. Primary or grade school hyperlexic children are often highly verbal, and are able to converse for lengthy periods of time on subjects that are usually beyond the interests of most children their age ... Often the language difficulties and learning differences of these children are forgotten or given little heed in light of the remarkable abilities they exhibit.")
