Oh my goodness, thank you for sharing this! My daughter just turned five, and was diagnosed with nonverbal autism. When I was a teenager, I was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder without the hyperactivity. (Inattentive type) And the psychiatrist said I had central auditory processing disorder. Now I'm in my 40s and realizing that I am on the spectrum as well. I began speaking when I was 2 years old, but have always had issues processing information, but nowhere near as frustrating as it has been for my daughter. I can only imagine how frustrating it is for her. I'm sure you understand and empathize with her! ❤️ Flash forward to today, I started to put two and two together that maybe the auditory processing disorder has a genetic predisposition and has more to do with my daughter's lack of speech. I'm going to get her to an audiologist who is aware of this information. I really appreciate your comment. I believe with all my heart and soul that she has the ability to communicate and speak. We just need to figure out how to help her. Within your memories of what you needed as a 5 year old who could not yet speak, please feel free to share with me any advice on how I can be there for her better. And thank you again for sharing what you said about not speaking at age 5.
thanks for the info. I am 78 years old . A highly functioning professional individual. I am learning to get treatment for improving my hearing handicap.
Brain Training Labs test Auditory processing, visual processing, memory, language processing, reading comprehension and math. Good news is you can improve your speed and comprehension by taking brain testing exercises. Learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism, Aspergers, all have some connection in being deficient in one of these areas - reading, writing, math, listening, speaking/language. It's common that someone with ADHD/Autism to also have a learning disability.
Do you know, I have 3 generations of family members with this and visual processing disorder. The last 2 diagnosed at 17 years of age as struggling twice exceptional high school seniors continually referred by their instructors into Honors & AP all these years with the district not understanding their learning style and needs largely in part because they repeatedly denied them services by refusing to test & identify. Those two are all we are in agreement on with outside experts pointing out two or 3 more for my identical twin grandsons whom I've raised. I am livid that the school finally agreed to test for CAPD and more then dragged their feet for an entire year until senior year and always trying to dumb them down to make the teachers lives easier. They need suing if only for complete thorough testing by expert testers and then intense services and a way for to successes instead of failures. I have no idea what to do to get them what they need now...long story with what feels like an end of line thanks to the total ignorance & indifference of the adults. Suggestions please and thank you 😢
Dyslexia was one idea I thought my kid had based of so patterns and number sequence like ten figures and if I took away one hand away it was still hard to simply say 5. But since then has passed regents math. Now has issues with small talk listens but doesn’t get triggered to ask question based on his conversation in other words it doesn’t prompt to ask another question or perhaps see the importance of asking s as another question or the need to know or see what you might want to know about this person just not there.
It’s hilarious to me that the video is about auditory processing disorder, and the microphone they decided to provide the speaker sounds like it was made from a walnut
