[QUOTE="buddy, post: 525290, member: 12886"] If your gut is saying that it probably is, that is one thing most of us eventually learn to trust. If you want to check for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)'s he is old enough to go to a specialized audiologist. Depends on your insurance, I did not need a referral but of course you want to check. YOu have to check for an audiologist who does more than just standard hearing threshold, or even auditory discrimination testing....It is a much more specific and specialized kind of testing. A Speech-Lang Pathologist can identify warning signs and check for processing difficulties and can make the recommendation to get a referral too.... The neuropsychologist does not have the audiology booth or specific tests that are needed to do this testing. Sounds, words, sentences, running speech, tones, are presented in different forms to the ears alone, together etc... with back ground noise, without, at different speeds, etc... And from those results they can see how he processes sounds, words, speech, etc.... But if you get Occupational Therapist (OT), Audiology and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) results first and bring them to the neuropsychologist, they are great at putting all the little pieces together. various processing difficulties are often associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) so if you think it is a possibility (doesn't get directions, "forgets" or misses parts of directions, seems like he is ignoring especially in noisy environments, distracted....many other symptoms as has been said) then start the search for this specialized professional.
