I would recommend that you seek an official diagnosis/assessment from a educational psychologist (you'll almost certainly have to go private) and take it from there. It's always best to get expert advice and a proper diagnosis if you suspect any atypical developmental issues that concerns you. It's really easy to misjudge things as a parent and a lay-person.
Thanks. Hypernumeracy is not well known in this country. The automatic assessment by professionals for my child was autism but I don't think this is correct. I know that medical officials often are the experts but I also am very confident in my own knowledge of my child and very often mummy knows best.
Hyperlexia and hypernumeracy aren't official diagnoses in their own right, and are given only as part of an ASD diagnosis in the UK if mentioned at all. Hence my comment that you would need to get a private assessment. You can then ask for any care plan to be adjusted to mention hyperlexia and hypernumeracy, and work with your child's SEN providers at school to incorporate provision for that diagnosis.

    • This is the relevant passage, I believe "Southwark Council (Peckham Rye, Burgess Park, Southwark Park) will earn a projected £440,000 from events in its parks in 2025, up from £340,000 in 2024. Events include GALA Festival in Peckham Rye, August’s Boiler Room, Jazz Café and Maiden Voyage in Burgess Park, and RALLY festival in Southwark Park." What would of course be interesting to know is what they spend this on. Is there any transferred benefit to those local people who live around and use these facilities? But I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer.
    • An interesting article from Journalist Jim Waterson about how much councils make from festivals....it starts with an article about 5g but scroll down for the festivals article    https://www.londoncentric.media/p/real-5g-conspiracy-how-londoners-lied-over-their-phone-signal
    • Could you give the news source so that I can see whether it is reliable (like BBC) or nuts ( like Reform conspiracy insights)?
