[QUOTE="Buglover, post: 513150, member: 14112"] Confuzzled: we are 22 years, married 20 years in August. I figure if it has lasted this long it would be stupid to give up now! Tiredmommy: she crashes and burns on tests, it makes me feel so bad for her. They have her in the least distracting seat in the room, and have a desk set up in the hall if she gets too distracted, but that is not enough. They also let her chew gum (relieves tension) and send her to the office if she needs to destress/quiet time. She always complains that there is too much noise, the squeaking of peoples shoes on the gym floor hurts her ears (the gym is halfway across the school! and it still hurts her ears!) So the distractions are very bad for her when she is struggling, although she reads very well at school. I have earplugs coming (Max plugs or something, for kids, from Ebay). She actually got up and walked out of music because of "all that stupid noise from the cymbal" and her teacher couldn't find her for about 15 minutes! I could not believe she did that, she is never like that unless she is extremely agitated by a sound. I did have her hearing tested at a real ENT, he said her hearing was "extremely good" well I already knew that :) ENT doctor said it is virtually impossible to determine what could be wrong with her hearing, and most likely it is neurological/brain stem or whatever, so her ears are not the problem, her nervous system is. From what I understand it is like a fire alarm going off in their head when they hear sounds like that (squeaking shoes, trumpets, cymbals, and auto flush toilets are a bleeping nightmare in those tiled bathrooms). Buddy and Insane: I will probably have her evaluated for learning disabilities, I just want to try Occupational Therapist (OT) first and see if that helps her with the noise distractions. [/QUOTE]
