Any point in pursuing a diagnosis for this? - 9/16/2010 12:06:17 PM

About a year ago, after problems at a job, I went to an ear doctor and was told that the only thing that fit my symptoms was a processing disorder with hearing. However, according the doctor I saw, there was no point in diagnosising me because A) there is no treatment, B) they just don't diagnosis adults as most children grow out of it and C) to really get a diagnosis would require a lot of testing, be expensive and pointless. I wasn't particularly pleased with that answer but didn't have the money to keep going back for an uncertainity.

Now, after talking to a friend who sent me this article http://ezinearticles.com/?Auditory-Dyslexia---Symptoms-and-Diagnosis&id=2806052, I'm wondering if it's worth pursuing. I know that all the listed symptoms fit me except perhaps poor pronounction though I frequently don't realize how loud or softly I'm speaking. I have been diagnosied with ADHD as well.

Does anyone else have experience with this or other auditory disorders? Is there any point in trying to get an offical diagnosis? Anyone know of other resources they'd check before making this decision? I'd like to get some other opinions before Val and I even start spending money on what could be a pointless process.

Who does not have ADD/ADHD?

We all have that.

If it were me- I would do research online. Sometimes you can find a related message board. Also- read the comments people write in articles on this.

This ailment is a new one on me.

But as to ADD/ADHD more people have it then do not.

The question is not about ADHD.

You are guessing on a diagnosis? Or no?

so he should pay out a ton of money so that he can not be treated.

Seems un-productive.

You definitely should. Your meds are clearly not working.

I think It may be worth pursuing for 3 reasons: it caused an issue on your job.
There may be work arounds you could learn about and accomadations that would have to be made if it continues to be an issue.
If you wanted to go back to school and the reason mnottertail aleady mentioned.

A vocational rehab place could pay for the testing if you have job issues perhaps?

Yes you should get the full diagnosis. It would be a big concern if it was causing trouble with work.

With the diagnosis there may training and school money available to you.

You may find more information if you research "Receptive Language Disorder". I don't know that I would worry about a diagnosis as an adult; you can still check out the tools available online for assistance in the areas in which you have problems.

You seem to process fine in normal conversation, Aqua. Check into what Cali said, and do your own research. Knowing you have a problem is the first step toward developing coping strategies. It could be that you need to steer yourself toward certain types of work environments.

Getting a second opinion and doing more research would be productive. Have the same issues happened at other jobs in the past? Or when you were in school?

OK, here's my two cents worth. My youngest daughter has Central Auditory Processing Disorder, which seems to follow very closely the symptoms of this "Auditory Dyslexia" you are referring to.

First, she had hearing issues early on, and she had a speech impairment which made her about only 40% intelligible. It took her until 5 years of age to speak in complete sentences. Then it seemed that she would select what she wanted to do, whilst ignoring the other things you asked of her. What was really happening was that she couldn't process directives as quickly as other people, and she would get "lost" easily.

My favorite example when trying to explain it was this: Lets say my daughter went to school one day. She arrives and goes to her desk, and the teacher begins the classroom day. First, she says everybody pull out your science book, and turn to page 274, and go to the third paragraph. Oh, and pull out your homework and place it on the upper left hand corner of your desk so Tiffany can collect it. My daughter would get as far as pulling her textbook before overload would set in.

Now, I had noticed the tendency of her father to NOT be able to remember a list of 5 things to get at the grocery story, so apparently this can be an inherited condition. We did address the speech problems, she is now (at 22 years old) 98% intelligible. There are special techniques to help with remembering things, especially lists. Also, cutting down the amount of input is VERY helpful.

I don't know if this is at all what you are experiencing, you didn't mention your specific symptoms. However, this is an ADA recognized disability, and once you ARE diagnosed, you can use coping strategies to help you out, without making your employer go overboard in having to accommodate you. Interestingly, in 1993, my daughter's school district had never heard of CAPD, it was only my chance discovery glancing through a new book at the bookstore that shed light on the picture. Because of bringing what I discovered to their attention, they added CAPD to their list of learning disabilities.

Please check out this website, and then do more research on CAPD if it seems to resonate. http://www.iser.com/caparticle.html

Hugs darling!
