If I am in the same room with a TV (which is something I avoid as much as possible, but sometimes I have no choice because I have to assist someone who constantly has television on), I have trouble not looking at the TV even when I'm doing something else AND don't care at all about whatever program is on, and my concentration gets completely shot. Could either of those also be a sensory processing thing?

I found a checklist on a site about SPD (sensory processing disorder). It's not in the DSM-V, but probably will be added in a newer DSM in the future.

Anyways, here is the link: http://spdfoundation.net/about-senso...rder/symptoms/

I read it over myself so. A lot of it sounds like ADHD but that's where the professionals come in and stuff.

Oh, and here is the link on the co-morbidity thing. It's pretty cool. It's mainly comorbid with AD/HD and ASD.

Hope this is interesting and helps you a bit [emoji4] .

Also, I am always distracted by the TV even if I hate what is on. I'm not entirely sure on your question though. Maybe look through the checklist or ask a doctor? Its considered under the learning disabilities category as an unspecified one I think.
