Struggling to Process What Others Say Due to Auditory Processing Disorder

Happens to me all the time

Yes! People around me often misunderstand that I am unintelligent, but really I just can't hear and understand the way they do. It was quite depressing before I got diagnosed, but now that I know it's simply quite frustrating to be misunderstood all the time

Yes that's a big thing with ADHD and autism. I have slow processing speed so sometimes when someone talks to me it feels like I didn't hear them but then what they said comes through my brain and I respond halfway through them repeating themselves 😂
