This is nowhere near what I usually post, but can I just rant and express how fvcking annoying it is to have really severe auditory processing disorder? Like, it’s bad enough I have to wear hearing aids (they don’t make it louder, they do some suppression and isolation) + headphones all the time, and I still have to read lips when I do that, but apparently I’m “being dramatic” because I “don’t actually have any hearing problems” because I can hear, but what does it matter that I can hear if I don’t know what I’m hearing???

And you get shit from both deaf and hearing people, like deaf & HOH people telling you to “stop using our services,” and “well… but you don’t actually know what it’s like to have hearing problems,” like… yes I do??? also like, Ive really wanted to learn ASL for a long time, so that maybe, just maybe I can communicate without issues, but in the class for hearing people at my local disability services area, they always talk to teach so I couldn’t understand, yet apparently I wasn’t eligible for the non talking course with subtitles???

Not to mention, teachers not believing you, people thinking you’re stupid, people in general not believing you have hearing issues because “you listen to music” and “you sound so normal” and having to constantly explain that you have to see someone’s face to understand what they’re saying and you’ll still get it wrong a lot.

Of course I’m not saying that I’m deaf or hard of hearing, I’m just tired of not having anyone understand and being penalized for something I can’t control.

Anyways rant over, I hope some people can relate and feel seen.

The Autistic Teacher

It's amazing that my partner and I are staying at a hotel that's built into a major international train station, and yet the trains themselves are just a soft little rumble that we hear on occasion, nothing more.

Hello people of the Internet,

Do you have hearing problems, such as hearing things too loud?

Are you auditorally sensitive?

Please go get your ears checked.

Apparently a build up of earwax can cause auditory sensitivity.

An autistic guy who struggles with auditory sensory overload

The Orchestra

Hold my hand, close your eyes, open your ears. Do you hear the music? Do you hear the orchestra? They're telling us a story, won't you listen with me? Let us discover what they have to say. Let us go together on this tale made of music. Won't you join me?

Question for fellow neurodivergent peeps:

What do you do for auditory sensory overload? Or just auditory stuff in general? Are there special ear plugs for us?

Omg I never expected other people to see my lil post about difficulties and stigma around auditory processing disorder, but some people did and here we are.

Tbh I really want to hear from other people with apd, and their experiences, cause I’ve actually never met another person with severe apd, so here’s a list of 10 questions if any of my fellow apd people wanna answer some!

1: when did you (or those around you) realize there was something up with your hearing?

2: does your apd come with other neurodivergency?

3: does your apd also come with specifically synesthesia?

4: what resources and accommodations have you found help best?

5: which headphones are better, in ear or outer ear?

6: how do you explain apd to those around you?

7: what is the worst thing about apd?

8: what is the best thing about apd?

9: which is worse, repetitive noises or loud noises?

10: do other people in your family have apd?

Thanks so much to anyone who responds, y’all are helping me feel less isolated!
