Is it possible that someone who is bright can be diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder? I'm starting to suspect that my 8 year has this. I always thought something was not right but I just waited. The thing is, is that he is not behind school academically. He is actually at the top or even over the top of hIs class. He is a great speller and his report card shines on any academic subject. The reason why I question is that he does have a hard time following directions. He becomes very flusterd. I have to repeat everything twice for him. He is also sensitive to noise (it is better now but was worse when he was much younger) and he is not very coordinated with sports. Now that he is eight, he is starting to see that he is a little different because he did ask me as to why he gets confuse easily. I can see how this can take a toll on his selF-esteem. The only thing that is helping him is that he is a good student and is good playing the piano. Lacks a bit of social skills.
