This is one of the things our 4 yr old is struggling with...and what you are describing is exactly what he deals with.
The nurse practitioner at the dev ped's office and OT both say that ds has symptoms indicating this, but that they can't test for it yet (or don't). His hearing is perfect, and he's very intelligent, but if you don't know him well, you might not get that.
DS has a tentative dx of Asperger's, has poor fine motor skills and weak hands, some gross motor delays/weaknesses, auditory processing issues, sensory integration problems...possible metabolic issues....etc etc.
We'll see how it goes, but I just wanted to share that what you describe w/your son is the same as what the OT and NP describe as APD.
