When we listen to people talk, we can hear everything quite well.  People with auditory processing difficulties cannot hear everything they listen to.  I can be talking to Brother and he appears to be listening, but what he is hearing is not anything close to what I'm saying.  He, at times, hears static instead of the words I am saying.  I read a book written by an autistic adult that explained this.  I had Ben read it so he could understand more fully the obstacles Brother faces. 

The best thing for me to do is catch his attention physically.  I usually touch his shoulder or grab his hand.  I often forget to do this and end up very frustrated.  He is high functioning so I have a tendency to forget his greater struggles.  I'm very fortunate that he's such a loving forgiving child.
