Auditory Processing Disorde
"My son is 9 and was diagnosed with a central auditory processing disorder. He is/was also showing symptoms of ADHD. In trouble in school, refusing to do his work, he was even switched to an emotional support classroom, and after all the tests, we found out that his brain couldn&#039;t process what he was hearing, which caused the ADHD like symptoms.  We were offered to try Focalin XR...started on 5 mg but just switched to 10mg because my son said it wasn&#039;t making much of a difference. He eats well, even on the medication, and has been coming home with almost perfect daily behavior charts at school. This medicine is definitely working out good for us. Side effects are very minimal. My son takes 1mg of melatonin at night for sleep."
