Anak saya ni hyperlexia dan hypergraphia. Hyperlexia ialah kebolehan membaca tanpa diajar sesiapa (self-taught reader) dan hypergraphia plak ialah sejenis tingkahlaku yang menjurus pada keinginan melampau untuk menulis. Hypergraphia juga turut dikenali sebagai "the midnight disease".
Kalau baca dalam medical journal..hypergraphia ni ada yg disebabkan kecacatan di bahagian temperal lobe pada otak, Ada juga kes hypergraphia ni adalah hasil cetusan epilepsi atau sawan.
Pengetahuan saya tentang hypergraphia amat sedikit dan bahan bacaan pun amat terhad sekali. Serta tidak ramai pakar psikiatri yang saya jumpa yang boleh menerangkan apa yang saya mahu tahu tentang hypergraphia ini.
Yang pastinya anak saya Eusoff..amat obses menulis, Semua tempat ada tulisan dia..kalau dia tak ada pen, dia akan menulis guna air liur atau darah pun pernah juga (masa tu dia nosebleed). Menakutkan juga bila obsesinya sampai ke tahap camtu kan?
Ini adalah keratan yang saya dapat dari forum bila saya mencari maklumat mengenai hypergraphia dan kaitannya dengan autism dan hyperlexia. Some part of what this lady has witten sounds very much like Eusoff:

I had hyperlexia and have read since age 3, I've also started adding numbers very early and it drove me into a world of day-dreaming and continuos-fantasy.
Hyperlexia led me to hypergraphia, and I developed a neuropathy at the wrist called carpal tunnel syndrome. My doctor told me I'd be on theraphy for the rest of my life and that I can no longer handwrite, but use my laptop to do it.
I don't know why; and if it's a general caracteristic of AS, but when I laugh I lose my hand movements, I've had this since when I was a kid and it made me so mad. I don't actually "laugh", I jiggle and can no longer write.
When I am not writting or doing any hand work, I get obsessed/anxious and go into pervasive disorders and manias, for we all tend to transfer our compulsion to other area. Hypergraphia is related to the boderline euphoric behavior and of course, our necessity to communicate to *ourselves*. Huh??? Due our poor social skills or lack of interest in a social life. I prefer writting than being with people. I am hand-skilled myself and I show disfunctions in my spacial IQ and short memory. I'm fascinatated with letters, and writting them to "anyone" has always been my door to the real world.
I read everything I can, and write more than I should.
I've never been into "poems" or anything "girly".
