[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 486417, member: 13003"] OK. This is going to sound like someone from another planet. But... Maybe there is less manipulation going on than you think. Here's some alternative explanations... might not fit 100% on THIS one, but try looking at things this way when they don't make sense... you might be surprised. 1) Hearing disability 2) Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) - especially auditory figure ground - difficulty hearing in the presence of background noise If the child has an undiagnosed auditory disability... you would be absolutely astounded at what they actually "hear". (I know... I've had the problem as an adult.) When you don't hear clearly, your brain starts acting like the auto-correct on some of these smart phones that board members keep complaining about... and the results can be very strange... and/or totally hillarious. As an adult, I have ways of self-correcting etc. - but a kid doesn't necessarily know when follow-up info doesn't quite fit. And it really complicates things if you don't know that you have this problem. difficult child went through many years of being called a liar... at home and at school... when in fact, he really did NOT hear what was said... what he "heard" was what his brain did with the bits of words that he managed to catch. For a minimum, I'd want to have those possibilities ruled out. The first one is easy. The second one... you need Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and audiologist resources that know about this stuff... we got lucky the second time around. [/QUOTE]
