<p>I just read the thread from the link.<br>
I think you may have Central Auditory Processing.</p>
<p>However, I reintegrate that you should get tested by a neuropsychologist. The different tests are long and rather complicated with scores galore and interpretations. I read that you do not like to take drugs. My son was prescribed Concerta but he seldom takes it nowadays. He researched and found some natural supplements and he claims they work as well as Concerta for him. I am not suggesting that you do the same however, just that there are other alternatives. We also tried acupuncture for him but he absolutely do not believe it that form of treatment and discontinued after 2 times. </p>
<p>There are Asperger support groups out there whose members are very knowledgeable and they would be a great source of information. </p>
<p>As for the GPA contract, your parents sound like me. I considered having something similar with my kids. An A - free ride, B - 50%, C - they are on their own. I never implemented it or even presented it to the kids, because, when I thought it through, not supporting them through undergrad if they got a C is not something we will/can enforce. For me, it is a bad idea to threaten without having any intention of doing whatever we say we are going to do. </p>
<p>I have the inkling your parents will be the same, that is, should you fail to reach their expectations, they won’t cut you off. They are probably stressed about all the money they are going to spend and want to convince themselves that they are doing everything they can to motivate you.</p>
