[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 473356, member: 13003"] Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) - developmental coordination disorder. Good source of info: www.canchild.ca (that's just ONE source, but its a good one) Its a developmental disorder - skills develop unevenly, some never become effective or efficient. 50% of kids with ADHD also have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). May affect gross or fine motor skills - or both... OR skills may not be so obviously affected but they have trouble sustaining effort on motor skills tasks (writing, dressing, playing a full game of some sport...) Better-known in Britain, Australia and New Zealand - gov and health web sites from those countries can be very helpful. Starting to gain traction in North America, starting with Canada. And... 70% of kids with ADHD and a Learning Disability (LD), also have Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)... it all ties together. Those comments about noise that poe is making? Very high probability that it is either sensory (noise), or its Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) auditory figure ground issues. However... it cal be all of the above, and STILL end up being Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)... that is, many developmental disorders overlap with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but you can have one or more of these developmental disorders and NOT be Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).. if that makes sense?
