I'm hyperlexic myself, so I just have this headcanon that someone in the Holmes family is hyperlexic. (Mummy Holmes, perhaps? Falling into type 2 - children on the autism spectrum that demonstrated reading as an early skill? Or Sherlock himself, who fits several of the signs and just chooses to invent the label "high-functioning sociopath" to put people off?)
Either way: A fic on how said Holmes found out and cope with their hyperlexia. Pretty please.
(If anyone wants personal details on what it feels like to be hyperlexic, feel free to comment below. I'd happily respond every query.)
