It sounds visual spatial to me too. My DS7 would hear a noise (say a fan kick on) that the rest of us maybe have tuned out, but he then would follow the track of the sound in his brain to its source and then visualize the motor, components of air exchanger, etc. You can imagine this process could take a while and add to that the amazing ability of some individuals (men in my family) to tune out a woman's voice (teacher, mom, etc) and you have a dx of inattention when in fact he is paying quite a bit of attention to the task at hand (finding the source of the noise). Its much more interesting than listening to a lecture or doing a worksheet. laugh
