No, in fact, Auditory Processing Disorder (or APD) is probably quite under-diagnosed.

Unfortunately, not enough people are familiar with APD to recognize the signs or symptoms.

APD is often misdiagnosed as other disorders and as a result, individuals do not receive suitable treatment. 

However, with appropriate and comprehensive testing with a qualified professional, it's reasonable to achieve an accurate diagnosis of APD and subsequently, successful interventions and accommodations.
