[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 57284, member: 1991"] This sounds anxiety-based - he seems to have a need to be reassured that what he hears has a rational explanation. From what you say, he does this more with sounds that he can't immediately identify or which seem to be out of context. For difficult child 3, what he hears is less 'important' in terms of providing him with information about the world. He doesn't trust it as much, even though his hearing tests out fine. He may often mishear what we say, or only hear part of it. Where most people will sort of work out the gist of it from context, difficult child 3 INSISTS he has to be told EXACTLY what you said, even if it was something simple. If we paraphrase, he says, "No, that wasn't it." A real problem, when what you said wasn't important; was several conversations ago and is now almost forgotten anyway. We put it down to anxiety - plus, he really is trying to fit in and be 'normal' and to do this, he has to be able to follow conversation - something he has a long way to go with. Marg [/QUOTE]
