Yes, minniemarx. He has been tested and has normal hearing. It's pretty clearly some sort of processing issue. He hears the words, but they don't connect in his brain for some reason.

It's hard.

Thanks for the links, Mom0405! smile I'm always happy to be reading and researching.

I do think Auditory Processing Disorder fits all of his symptoms better than ELD, but he has not been diagnosed with anything yet. Certainly he does seem to have some sort of trouble expressing himself.
