3yr old memorised querty keyboard.

[Patti888]

The title says it all but I'll give you the background.
DS, 3.4yrs was tapping away on a shoe box lid.
I asked him if he was playing piano. 'No I'm typing' he replies.
Turns out he's memorised every key position on a shoe box lid!
He rarely has access to our laptop & nursery doesn't have one.
He's a fluent reader & has currently a maths obsession, but this floored me.
Could he have a photographic memory? Actually what is a photographic memory?
Does anyone understand how he could do this or any insight at all?

is he hyperlexic? think thats what it is called?

I'd wondered that too but he's under a developmental peadiatrition for gross motor delays when he was younger & she thinks he's just very bright. When he taught himself to read, just before he was two, I queried Hyperlexia.
I've no idea how his brain works but it's a lot better than mine!
DS is adopted so maybe one of his biological parents had this 'gift'.
Meanwhile, I struggle to understand this brain of his.
Thanks so much for replying.
