Plz remember that ppl with adhd (and probably some other disorders) are slow to process things. So if we ask you to repeat something 100 times its not cuz we wanna piss you off or that we cant hear you. Its just that we havent processed what you said so your words sound all garbly and make no sense.

Wait is this a thing!?! This happens to me all the time?!??

yeah, it’s called audio processing disorder and iirc it’s a pretty common comorbid disorder with a bunch of neurodevelopmental disorders!

I’ve had a form of audio processing problem since childhood, I have excellent hearing but sometimes have to ask people to repeat things (*) that everyone else in the group heard clearly, because I just can’t make out the words being pronounced. And I have a lot of trouble processing more than one verbal instruction step at a time, as well, it slides right off my brain :D;;; I really appreciate when people around me are patient with this.

(*…and sometimes I’ll just pretend that I heard everything fine even if I only understood every other word, because I feel embarrassed >__>;;)
