[quote=Anonymous]My son 14 started about six months ago asking us to repeat ourselves or stopping movies to repeat scenes. He also will ask us a follow up questions about some arguably obscure part of the conversation and ask us to repeat that part.

He’s always been curious and would “listen from the other room” but this is different and at times it feels constant.

It can be annoying and I’m concerned about the social implications. At times you he might interrupt and ask multiple questions while telling a story “he said what?” “And then you said X?” And then he’ll ask another question 30 secs later. It tries the patience time after time.

We have tried to make him aware of it and said things like “what did you hear me say” but he does not react well and doing that hasn’t helped. He seems self conscious of it.

He has adhd and anxiety, is medicated. It does seem worse at some times (maybe when he’s tired? Not 100% sure).

He just had an updated neuropsych and recently had his hearing tested at the pediatrician. The neuropsych showed normal processing speed (literally 50th percentile) with high percentiles for intelligence. Hearing was normal. We thought it could be either of these: hearing or delayed processing, but now we’re stumped.

Any thoughts of what this could be, what to do, or who to talk to about it? Or will he possibly just out grow it and we pray for especially patient and accepting friends? (He starts a new school this year)[/quote]
