Audiology Assesment : Hearing tests for Autism

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??

    We get lots of undergraduate dissertation requests, despite the understanding across universities that such approaches should be discouraged. But we also get suubtler approaches that make out something that isn't true.

    As I said I'm not being pedantic. The reference to "us proffesionals" did not ring true.

    You may not appreciate I'm a retired professional. I don't think your angry response shows professionalism. I was quite right to point out the problem and ask the question.
