Family and medical histories, autistic and dysmorphic features, and neurological status of 5 children with autism and hyperlexia and 5 sex and IQ-matched children with autism and no hyperlexia were compared. Results showed that the children with hyperlexia displayed more persistent echolalia, superior visual motor performance, and more favorable response to vestibular stimulation. These children performed better than did their matched controls in the physical and neurological assessment. Two of these children, one of whom had a sibling with hyperlexia, presented with macrocephaly. Both groups had a similar incidence of dysmorphic features, computerized tomographic and EEG abnormalities, and family morbidity. Results suggest that children with autism and hyperlexia probably represent part of the continuum of autism rather than a specific syndrome.
比较了5名患有自闭症和速读症的儿童以及5名性别和智商匹配但患有自闭症且无速读症的儿童的家族史、医学史、自闭症和畸形特征以及神经学状况。结果显示，患有速读症的儿童表现出更持续的模仿言语、更出色的视觉运动表现，以及对前庭刺激更积极的反应。在体格和神经学评估中，这些儿童的表现优于与之匹配的对照组。其中两名儿童，其中一名有一个患有速读症的兄弟姐妹，表现为巨头畸形。两组在畸形特征、计算机断层扫描和脑电图异常以及家族发病率方面的发生率相似。结果表明，患有自闭症和速读症的儿童可能是自闭症连续体的一部分，而非一种特定综合征。
