[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 538065, member: 13003"] Could this be Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)? Yes. It may not account for all of the above, but... two things stick out. 1) wanting things quiet in order to communicate 2) melt-downs if exposed to significant background noise Chances are it will be one of the "other" APDs - not the spoken language processing disorder, but something like auditory figure ground (there are 3 or 4 others). With auditory figure ground, the person doesn't have the mental "filters", so it becomes very difficult to focus on the important sounds.... to the point that burn-out can happen rapidly. For my difficult child, that used to be before lunch on Monday... school was taking that much out of him due to background noise. The rest of the week went rapidly downhill from there. The mental fatigue accumulates. A good night's rest may not be enough. Do you know how to pursue the testing? [/QUOTE]
