[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 525289, member: 13003"] Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) would be on top of whatever other dxes... not just on top of ADHD. It's a "stand-alone problem" that just happens to be co-morbid with lots of other stuff. Having Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) doesn't mean he isn't Aspie or anything else. IF the school has Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) resources available, and IF the school Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) has access to the specific tests that include screening for auditory figure ground... then the school Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) can do the initial screening, and I'd start there. (right, Buddy?) Usually, if they find something, it means you have to go to an advanced specialized audiologist (working specifically with APDs) to get the diagnosis. Our difficult child has this. The classroom was the worst, but the brain-drain was so massive that he never recovered... never came out of the fog that resulted in all sorts of behavior issues. A two month summer break wasn't long enough to fully recover. And our home is ideal for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) people... no entertainment technology at all, no background music unless somebody is practicing for lessons, very quiet. Most homes... TV is on, somebody else is playing some computer game, or listening on an Ipod... And then there's all the normal background noise... running water, dishwasher, laundry, tub/shower, the vacuum, people dragging their feet, etc. "Quiet" just doesn't exist very easily. He may be so burned out from trying to "listen" at school, that... there's nothing left anywhere. [/QUOTE]
