Five hyperlexic boys (4-5 to 10-1 years), who had been diagnosed with infantile autism or pervasive developmental delay in early childhood, were evaluated. Measures of intelligence, single-word recognition and comprehension, and picture naming were administered to determine the precocity or deficiency of reading recognition and comprehension, the underlying mechanisms of oral reading, and possible parallels with the acquired dyslexia subtypes. The results indicated that hyperlexia may be operationalized as unexpected reading precocity as compared to IQ; however, reading comprehension was not unexpectedly deficient. The phonological route to reading appeared to be preferred to the lexical route, and the overall pattern of performance most closely paralleled that of the surface dyslexic subtype.
对五名患有高词汇量症的男孩（年龄在4岁5个月至10岁1个月之间）进行了评估，这些男孩在幼儿期被诊断为患有儿童自闭症或广泛性发育障碍。进行了智力、单字识别与理解以及图片命名等测试，以确定阅读识别与理解方面的早熟或缺陷、朗读的潜在机制，以及与后天性阅读障碍亚型可能存在的相似之处。结果表明，与智商相比，高词汇量症可表现为意外的阅读早熟；然而，阅读理解并未出现意外的缺陷。语音阅读途径似乎比词汇阅读途径更受青睐，并且总体表现模式与表层阅读障碍亚型最为相似。
