Guest guest Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 After teaching for 30 yrs., I've observed that IQ doesn't seem to play a part, however, kids with ADD will go crazy over certain noises. I wonder how many of them may be misdiagnosed and put on medication that will complicate the issue. To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Sat, May 19, 2012 5:22:06 AMSubject: Re: IQ a part of it? I have been interested for many years in clinical and ethnic groups with normal non-verbal IQ but with reduced verbal IQ. This pattern is seen in congenital deafness, dyslexia, autism, etc, due I think to a common cause, reduced or distorted auditory input during a critical period in infancy when the structure of language is stamped into the brain. I do not think this pattern is ever due to primary damage to the brain, and have stated this dogmatically in Brain in 2009 (see link below to my list of publications). As far as I know, no one has yet challenged this or produced a brain-damage group with normal Wechsler PIQ and subnormal V IQ. http://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=yEsgjrAAAAAJ & hl=en & pagesize=100 ********************************************************************** > > I have a higher than average "non-verbal" IQ, and a lower than average "verbal" IQ; whatever the hell that means. > > I don't think IQ has any difference with misophonia in general; though it may just depend on where your sensitivity stems from. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
