I love this thread. I learned so much from reading everyone's responses. My daughter has a similar problem where she answers the opposite of what she wants, then falls apart when we give her what she answered. For example, do you want peas or green beans with your dinner? She answers, peas. I give her peas and she cries, no, no, no I wanted green beans. After further discussion, it appears she really thinks she answered green beans. Is this part of auditory processing disorder? She hasn't been diagnosed with that, and I've seen no signs of dyslexia (if that's a possibility). I'd appreciate your thoughts and/or insights.
