Hi, my son is 24 months. He's been reading phonetically for a month or two and can work out 2-4 letter words if they follow basic phonetic rules.
The bit that surprises me is his ability to remember any word I write out for him, even if we don't come across it again for a few weeks.
He currently remembers about 200 words. Favorite game is finding words stuck to our eight patio doors. He always gets it right.
My question is is it possible he has an exceptionally good visual memory or has he got a photographic memory? I've tried google but very little info out there especially with one so young.
He's been obsessed with number/letters since 18 months.
I was wondering if he had hyperlexia but he understands what he reads & he has no other autistic red flags.
As a side note, ask him where he left his socks and shoes 2 mins ago, he's clueless.
Anyone with experience of this or have any information?
