What is audtiory figure-ground dysfunction?

Auditory Figure-Ground Dysfunction

between auditory sounds in the environment, a common characteristic with Autism, Pervasive Development Disorder, and some Learning Disorders. One child once described it to me as having every channel of the radio on at the same level at the same time and trying to sort out what is being said or played on each station. In other words, a whistle from a far away train might be picked up by the brain at the same intensity and level as a television blaring in the same room.
