Please Note

As of January 22, 2017, we’re discontinuing posts on The Digital Hyperlexic.

Why? Because we’ve launched a BRAND NEW BLOG!

Tes is proud to present a brand new blog, The Teselecta Multiverse, over on the new Neurodiversity Matters blog network being launched by Autonomous Press. You know, the independent press publishing radical, transformative work by neurodivergent and other marginalized folk.

Meanwhile, feel free to read our archival posts on this blog.
