I have done research and want to know about visual spatial hyperlexia. I am a male in college and considered in an adult stage. I understand there is very little information on the disorder. Most people just get diagnosed with adhd( which I have). I became interested in understanding what it is after a teacher thought i may have it.

I have worked hard in a class and do fine in others , and its true we draw diagrams alot on the board. I have not done well in the class and maybe do not pick up on it well from all of the visuals. Again , I identified truth as evidence that i work hard but have not achieved results in just one class.Does that mean i have visual spatial hyperlexia…? I have indentified this truth that I have had adhd before (still do) but it is to my understanding associated with hyperlexia…

How do you treat it? can you help it through nutrition or exercise..?

You need to be tested and diagnosed by a neurologist (a medical doctor that specializes in the brain) or a neuropsychologist (a psychologist that specializes in the brain and its functions). Ask your college counseling center or department of disabilities (which would help students with learning disabilities) to refer you to a neuropsychologist. A neuropsychologist is a psychologist with expertise in brain functions and how they affect learning.

I am beginning to suspect my son has ADHD, and I have been reading about GAPS, Gut and Phychology Syndrome…and how an over loaded immune system from vaccines, environmental toxins and poor nutrition can play a roll…He has had all his shots already, but I have to take my daughter in tomorrow…Just wondering if anyone else did a modified schedule, and what it entailed???

How many shots at time???

Which ones and when???

Thanks

You could read The Vaccine Book by Robert Sears, M.D. He talks about different alternate schedules.

You will also get a lot of answers and information from this forum:

I use a completely modified schedule. We don’t vaccinate at all. :-)

Healthy Kids Combo

In order to make some cost-effective General Nutrition Support packages, I’ve put together three supplements that I believe address the most common areas of concern with children. Here is general info on each one: CHEWABLE CATALYN: Dose = 3/day. Multiple vitamin and trace mineral product with enzyme source. Contains twelve raw foods, COLD PROCESSED and blended. Catalyn supports the activation of enzyme systems and supports the entire body. Foundational product for all Standard Process protocols. Catalyn is unlike any other multi-vitamin available on the market. Since it’s made from concentrated whole foods, it contains all vitamins and trace minerals known and unknown. Whenever a new vitamin is discovered, they check Catalyn and invariably find out it is contained within the product because Catalyn is made from whole natural sources, complete with every natural synergist in nature. MIN-TRAN: Dose = 3/day. May be taken throughout the day or especially in the evening “relaxation” hours. Indicated in Hyperirritability, insomnia, tachycardia, hyperkinetic children, ADHD, and some thyroid conditions. Min-Tran is a mild natural calmative, helping establish balanced function of the central nervous system. Source of alkaline ash minerals, plus calcium lactate and kelp. Min-Tran is excellent for the nervous person who cannot relax. It’s also effective for helping people with muscle spasms and cramps. CATAPLEX B: Dose = 3/day. B vitamin complex, increases nerve motor conductivity, carbohydrate metabolism, oxidation of lactic and pyruvic acids. Helps support blood sugar imbalances, hypotension, poor muscle tonicity, and more. NOTE: THIS PACKAGE CONTAINS A ONE-MONTH SUPPLY OF ALL THREE SUPPLEMENTS.

I'm not searching for any specific answer. I just want to know what people think about this (people with experience only please). Do you think watching so much TV or playing so many video games is a contributing factor to some learning disabilities? Do you think some kids are just overstimulated? Or are some kids just born super hyper and misbehaved? Do parents working too much or bad nutrition or lack of discipline or anything else plays a contributing factor? I'm not being rude at all. I'm just wondering what the general public thinks.
Lisa, I'm not "implying" anything. I'm just asking a question. I don't have much experience with it, but I've met kids who are constantly hyper and easily distracted and I know giving a name to it is something fairly recent. I just didn't know if there is a known cause of it or if it is caused by environment. I've heard people mention that it's because of this and that, but I don't know if those people were right or just overly oppinionated. I'm just asking.

Well, as a psychologist, I'm not really the general public, but you are asking the basic old nature versus nurture question. I can say I've seen a lot of kids who have academic and behavioral trouble due on a chaotic, toxic environment, not any weakness within the child. I get so sick of pediatricians who will refer kids for evaluations, but never ever talk to the parents about parenting classes and the like. The kids are tearing up the waiting room and mom sits there and twiddles her thumbs. You can generally tell right off when it's a systemic issue in the home. This year, I had a 5 year old call his grandmother a stupid pig in front of a room full of school staff. And she didn't bat an eye! WTF- he's 5!!! And when I asked her if that was acceptable, she says, oh yes, he does that all the time. I told him that wasn't ok and made him apologize. If things continue as they are, he'll be labeled with something in no time. And it's sad because the child is smart and can be taught proper behavior. I try, but it's got to come from home first! All we can do is teach him it's not ok in school, but that's not going to keep him out of jail one day.

On the other hand, there are some children who really do have brain-based differences. There are, and for kids who are diagnosed appropriately, MRI's show there is a cognitive difference. I've seen parents try to treat all kinds of mental health issues by eliminating one dye or another, or giving a certain type of diet. I believe you have to have an extremely sensitive system for that sort of thing to work, and you'd probably have problems other than just behavioral. Some people really do have issues that must be dealt with medically in order to work to their potential.

You point out exactly why full, comprehensive evals are important. I've had teachers and parents complain to me that they feel like the one's being tested, when it should just be focused on the kid. Well, that's too bad, because I know environment is a factor that should never be overlooked when deciding whether or not a child is disabled.
