Actually Autistics (npub1pce…geep)
Um, I didn't learn to read until I was 8 years old. A couple years later (age 11), I was reading at a college level. I can totally believe that someone who is AS can go from not being able to read to reading everything in the span of a few years. Jason Arday was bullied! And that's a fact!
"Mr. Arday, who was 41, grew up in a working-class quarter of South London, the child of Ghanaian immigrants. Early on, he was identified as having learning difficulties. He wrote in his memoir that he could not speak until age 11 and could not read until age 18, charting a remarkable trajectory from nonverbal preteen to Ph.D."
