[QUOTE="fun fam, post: 550368, member: 15196"] Thanks for all your replies! His hearing has been tested and is fine. I have read about auditory processing disorder and it doesn't seem to fit, but I am not totally sure. He actually is in speech therapy, for articulation problems. His language pragmatics and vocab, etc are all normal, but his pronounciation has always been poor. He has been seeing a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) for a year now and has made huge progress. He will go for another year at least. I do keep coming back to aspergers because of the family history, but socially it doesn't seem to fit. Yes, he is bossy, dominating, controlling and in-your-face, but that is with adults he knows well (mostly me and husband) ONLY. He is NOT bossy, rude, dominating, aggressive, obsessive, rude, etc with his friends. He is kind, compromises, easy to get along with, etc when it comes to peers and he does great in groups. Totally different kid in his attitude when it comes to dealing with us (parents) and dealing with friends. He really does have very good social skills for his age. I bet my son would just LOVE horse therapy (he adores animals) but I have no idea how we'd afford it. [/QUOTE]
