[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 595207, member: 13003"] Angela, you might be surprised at how serious a problem with auditory figure ground can be... we had no idea, but it makes classroom environments impractical or impossible to learn in. When they have to spend so much mental effort to "hear", they don't have much left to "process" what they hear, so they usually get it wrong - and then get accused of "not paying attention"... when in reality, they were giving all the attention available and it just wasn't enough. LOL on the sensory note... yes, many of these challenges have "another side". Someone said once that the only difference between an Aspie with a dinosaur fixation and a PhD-level dinosaur researcher is... age and education. We expect kids to have a wide range of interests... and narrow that down as they get older, sometimes to a very narrow specialty. We consider it normal or talented in adults, and a problem in kids??!
