Hello All,

Something I’ve been thinking about more lately is how my auditory processing problems have affected my life.

Just wanted to open this up for a discussion for those of you who also face problems understanding oral instructions.

Do you have difficulties processing what people say despite having a functional chain of hearing organs? Are you able to follow written instructions to the shock of neurotypicals who may sort you into a lower ability bucket?

Thanks, -G

    I feel for me this gets worse with stress. When I’m very stressed I sometimes hear what is being said, but it just zips right past me without me understanding a thing. I guess it has to do with concentration? Usually when I ask again it seems easier, but that might be because I pay closer attention to the person, a sort of “lip reading”. Though the less I can concentrate, the harder it becomes to guess what they are saying.
