Audiology Assesment : Hearing tests for Autism

Audiologist

Hi

I am an audiologist and my main role is to test childrens hearing, it has come to my attention that over the last few years we have seen an increase in those children with autism.

I just wonder if anyone has had any experience with the hearing assesment with their children and how they feel the hearing test went and how the audiologist manged to test your childs hearing?  

I am very conscience as an audiologist and relaise that at times due to lack of understanding and training that obtaining a hearing test can be very difficult ?

I just wonder what you as parents feel and is there any advice and tips you may wish to give to help us audiologists?.....also any fellow audiologists out there who have any tips??

    @longman, whilist i understand your point, it is actually rather common for any form of professionals to make spelling mistakes, have lost count how many spelling mistakes ive found in some well published books (even in textbooks published for learning purposes and various articles published by professiors of many different fields, including literature itself!) in newspapers(where there are both professional journalists writing the articles and then specialist people going over for it for spell checks and still miss things!), election campaigns etc etc.

    @audiologist- while i understand why your upset, i myself wouldve been very offended aswell at such a reply, please do understand this is an asperger/autism forum and in many cases the love of dictionary and perfectionism is rather common in many aspies, accompanied with limited understanding how others find things or might feel when reading their reply, so please do not take it so hard, most of us are more than happy to help where we can:) In his defence i would say this forum has been previously used or be attempted to be used by students coming along both on here and a few other similar forums quite openly asking for information for their research, some even going as far as asking the community members to help carry out the research personally! and ive only been here a few days! So try not to judge him too harshly. Am sure his reply was simply with keeping the best intests of the community in mind:)
