Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 019a: Slow Processing Speed — What It Is and How to Support Kids Who Have It · 10 Nov 2023 podcast

He's got the same profile.

I didn't write the book about him.

But I could draw from a lot of just what it feels like to be a mom with a child with slower processing speed.

But I'm really quick and fast and I'm always doing things.

And as he's grown into adulthood, I found like I've learned so much from him about just the simple joys of like making a meal as opposed to trying to get everything done on my to-do list.

where, you know, he sort of like, you know, he comes home from vacation from college, and I'm like, Oh, we should do this and this and this.

He's like, Mom, I just like kind of just like hanging out with you and cooking dinner.

This is like an activity for me.

And so it's, it's such a great way to sort of be if we can learn to value that.

Usually it's not sufficient.

It used to be.

So it used to be when we had a different diagnostic manual.

So the DSM-IV allowed us to have a category called Learning Disability NOS or Not Otherwise Specified.

And many people like me would put that under, you know, that sort of processing speed issues under that.

So right now, it's typically not sufficient to just say, oh, my child, you know, look at the, like for the WISC, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, they have a very, very slow processing speed.

Everything else is at, you know, the average range or above.

That's typically not enough.

Now, some school systems will allow that and get it.

You know, like people who understand kids understand that that can be much more impairing than mild dyslexia without processing speed issues.

What I generally recommend is to find something in the profile where processing speed is causing real-time, real-life difficulties.
