anyone else think they have auditory processing disorder?
share some things here. i think i have it on a low level but i have learned to get around it like subtitles on tv and watching peoples mouths when they talk etc but never heard of any reason why i have those issues. i didnt know it was anything. just thought it was probably something of my AS what ever i was going through it was always there and something i had never gotten diagnosed or looked at and didnt know how to go about asking. i just knew that i have trouble with understanding people from foreign countries like african or muslim mostly. they have the strongest accents ever for me to understand and reading their lips sometimes doesnt even help me. and i always have to use subtitles on tv bc like i may be watching a detective show which i love those btw and they may say something about the suspect brutally killing a woman and hiding her body for 10 years and I actually hear something totally different bc there is noise going on and it messes me up.
my roomate can come in and ask me something and i say "why are you wanting to go to the park?" she says "no no i didnt say i wanted to go to the park. i asked if you picked up that part you said you were gonna order" i dont know how i messed that up but i just chock it up to trouble paying attention. and sorta is like that but not fully. or I have found lately that when doing my ledgers (receipts and checkbook) i sometimes superimpose my numbers. like i read 457 and will actually write down 754 bc that is what i thought i read. im not dyslexic tho. i have been tested. things like that. i found something on here that i remember reading that was on auditory processing disorder and i loved it and thought that is me! i started to research more but only finding things about children having it and nothing about adults with it or autistic adults with it etc. and nothing is like i am dealing with. im getting that it goes hand in hand with dyslexia and possible trouble hearing and hand in hand with small children.. so i went back ot the post on this site and its private. so i was wanting to see if others have stories they can share.
