NO LITERALLY THIS IS SO BAD

Auditory Processing Disorder shite cuz people don’t talk about it enough rip

* Getting frustrating when people don’t warn me before they talk so I can “turn on” my hearing. 

* Needing subtitles on movies and tv shows, not because I can’t hear it but because I can’t understand what they’re saying

* Hearing in perfect clarity what the teacher next door is saying and not a thing of what the kid I’m talking with is saying.

* Losing all concept of how to decipher language when more than one sound is playing

* Feeling like a dick for asking people with accents to repeat themselves so much (guys pls i swear im not racist i just have a hard time with speech guys pls-)

* Looking at people’s mouths when they talk, not because I can read lips or anything but because it just helps me figure out what someone is probably saying.

i hope this makes some modicum of sense kalsjdfakojwhepo

had the question in my head

for those who have never heard the term before: hearing fatigue refers to the exhaustion that deaf and hard of hearing people experience when hearing for extended periods of time. hearing fatigue makes it harder to understand sound and can make it feel physically painful to try to understand speech.

For everyone with ASPD, you deserve good representation.

Help me write you an Aroallo ASPD character that represents how we can heal and be ourselves to spite our trauma without having to bend down to prosocials.

How can you help? Reblog with ramblings or comment about your personal experience of living as a pwASPD. if you aren't a pwASPD, reblogs and likes still help!

i've tried my best to do the research necessary, but the amount of ableist sites that get shoved in my face with a basic google search has pissed me off. im taking matters into my own hands and asking y'all directly for your experiences.

I haven't gone for an ASPD diagnosis because it is simply not in the cards for me right now, and would potentially be harmful for me, but i check many boxes. But I dont trust myself enough to write a solely ASPD character based off only my own experiences.

Thoughts, advice, encouragement, all is appreciated.

Spice (legal name Simon) is a felinefolk/birdfolk hybrid who works as a bartender for his side of the bakery-bar Sugar & Spice that him and his caretaker formed. He grew up bouncing around in the foster system and treated like a oddity to hide due to his odd mix of genetics. But his last caretaker, Sugar, he grew to see as a genuine mother to him because she was the first to believe his side of the story and not treat him like an "Other".

Due to his feline side, he often was found hunting down squirrels, birds, and rodents as a young child. Some of which he toyed with as they died, others he simply bit and killed. This behavior off put many of his foster parents and got him transferred around to different homes quite a lot. Spice was quite the delinquent as a child, he often was provoked into fights that he most of the time lost. (The first time around at least.) But he always got a cruel form of revenge depending on the bully who knocked him down. The fighting got worse once he hit middle school, to the point where he was once expelled for half blinding another child with his claws (and going home with a broken wing and shoulder himself) By the time he's finished highschool, Sugar had adopted him and done her best to help him mellow out and process his traumas from bouncing around the system and being treated like a thing to be tamed. But, he still gets in enough trouble to gain a Conduct Disorder Diagnosis and later after he graduates an Antisocial diagnosis.

The entirety of his moral system as an adult is built on what would or would not disappoint Sugar. He's perfectly content to live out his short life baking with his mother figure, mixing drinks, and curled up by a sunny window with his nose burried in books till his bad genetics kill him, but Sugar tries to get him to at least try to interact with others. And he holds her in such high respect that he does his best to maintain a good reputation with those that stop at the bar.

His care for the world revolves solely around himself and Sugar till a birdfolk with one wing named Autumn violently enters his life (and Re-enters Sugar's) and then violently leaves it five years later.

Life with A Mental Health Disability Leave Mother. I go back to work Halloween. It’s been almost 5 months and I’ve needed every second.

What's up w no one ever talking about how auditory processing disorders can cause or intensify speech impediments. Do people know Can't Understand You Disorder can be the reason you stutter? Did you know Can't Understand You Disorder can make you switch similar sounding or related words? Is anyone aware Can't Understand You Disorder may be why you keep moving words or sylabes or sounds out of place in a sentence? Could anyone talk about that??????? Please??????????

APD BROTHERS, SISTERS, AND OTHERS UNITE

I listen to music with headphones not because J wanna go deaf or be disrespectful, but so I don't have to hear the electricity in the walls and dog whistles and other NOISE that DISTRACTS me and ANNOYS me.

But there's more.

I want to hear every instrument that takes part in the melody. The breaths of the singer. The leitmotifs, every note, has meaning.

Music is a form of art, and I have trouble focusing without it. Even if it seems distracting or extra to you, it actually fuels me.

Please be patient with those of us with auditory processing disorder. We just need more time for the gears to turn in our heads.

A lot of people don't realise that autism has a lot in common with cluster B personality disorders and it shows!! Like we are supposed to stand in solidarity but even in 2025 I still see autistics calling people they don't like narcissists :(

What is Auditory Processing?

Mrs Speechie P

[gayvampyr]

one thing i hate about being “out” as autistic is suddenly all communication errors are your fault. unclear directions were given? your fault for being autistic, you must’ve misunderstood directions that were “probably perfectly clear.” not enough actionable information was provided for you? it must just be your autism, you should’ve picked up on what wasn’t said. they didn’t actually tell you what you were supposed to do and expected you to read their mind? your fault, not the allistic’s for not accommodating you or just saying what they want. because apparently it’s a one way street where autistics have to bend over backward to conform and placate allistics. its your fault even when they’re 100% culpable. i hate it

APD can be at least *amusing* sometimes

[wheelie-sick]

auditory processing disorder does not make you hard of hearing. it just doesn't! they are just simply different experiences. this doesn't mean auditory processing disorder is lesser it's just different and it's just not hard of hearing.

if someone could write a book on how to do everything ‘normally’ with specific step by step instructions that’d be very appreciated!
