This Canadian muggle might be a no-laugher (despite her energy vampire husband's jokesies), but Dyan's a fierce advocate for her two boys (both self-taught early readers, one of which is hyperlexic) and passionate about all things hyperlexia and autism. She created And Next Comes L in 2013 and has been the go-to resource for hyperlexia for 10+ years.
She's an avid book reader, lifelong learner, and former piano teacher. She likes Toad as her Mario Kart driver and prefers to listen to audiobooks and podcasts at 3x speed. Her idea of a perfect lunch is nachos. You can frequently catch her saying, "It's Dyan, not Dylan. There's no L."
She has a BAH (Psychology), an ATCL diploma (Recital for Solo Piano), an RCM Grade 10 Piano certificate, and an RCM History & Theory: Intermediate certificate. This blend of lived experience, deep research, psychology, and music shapes her approach and helps her see hyperlexic kids in a way many professionals miss.
