[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 146944, member: 1550"] I think the problem is that your son is seeing a psychiatarist, and often they really don't understand Learning Disability (LD)'s or anything neurological because it's not their field. For an actual diagnosis and to find out what it means, I'd take him for a neuropsychologist (a psychologist with extra training in the brain) evaluation, especially if he is kind of "not always there" or socially clueless. My daughter has an auditory processing disorder and needs Learning Disability (LD), but this does NOT pertain to her understanding ME or conversations. She doesn't understands verbal directions and needs them written out for her. But other than in the education area, she's fine, and is very socially astute so I'm (as a layperson only) not convinced that your son only has a processing disorder. At least, that particular problem has not played out like your son's in our home... If your son is "spacing out" I'd want to get a better picture of why that may be happening. Long ago they used to say "she only hears what she wants to hear" about me. But it turns out I have a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and lots of other neurological soft signs. I didn't not hear on purpose or because I WANTED to block something out. I actually did NOT hear certain things, and there were some things that were whispered that I would hear that I wasn't SUPPOSED to hear...lol.
