Thanks! I thought I was the " ONLY " one with the combination of conditions!

Ok, ok, I know that a lot of Autism persons have auditory problems and it

does complicate my hearing loss (and the tests for it). :-)

You are not alone.

Keep in mind that those with hearing impairments affect people across

the entire population. It stands to reason, therefore, that some

autistics are not excluded from having hearing impairments.

Just wanted to add that I am aware of how difficult it is for anyone

to find precisely the help they need if they are autistic. The game

is afoot to link up reliable resources in the autism world, however.

One example of this is Tony Attwood, Autism Society of Canada, Action

for Autism India, Autism new Zealand linking up with Midnight In

Chicago's podcasts.
