Writing and reading have always been more accessible and more fluent for me than spoken speech. Not every Autistic person has this experience. I, however, also fall into the hyperlexic category of neurodivergence.
My reading skills are far above my spoken abilities, and I read very naturally, thanks to an early obsession with books and reading – starting from the age of one and a half.
My reading skills help advance my speaking skills because reading allows me to repeat the things I read or write out.
This gives me an advantage because I use this skill to create advanced scripts for different situations – like YouTube Videos, Educational Presentations, or even scripts that I can take into my everyday life. #ActuallyAutistic
