Tonight, I'm going to be talking about Hyperlexia. For those who don't know, here's the wikipedia article on it:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlexia

"a child's precocious ability to read." Except it does affect us as adults. and it is a learning disability. As a child, i picked up reading very fast. I was reading novels in Grade 2, and by grade 7, I was reading at a 3rd-4th year University level and had a vocabulary somewhere around most masters students.
