    You might have a smidge of Speech Auditory* Processing Disorder. I do and that’s what it’s like for me. Common comorbidity with ADHD and ASD, and possibly other neurotypes.

      Oh almost certainly. I have ADHD, prolly autistic, and I’ve had many times where my mind stopped processing what people are saying. Which is bad when you work tourism xD

        Yyuup. It’s bad in basically any job you have to listen to people during, and I always have to establish with friends that it is an honest mistake when I can’t understand them and/or spaced out.

        I’m ADHD and on the spectrum more than likely, and my therapist says that the cutting edge research pertaining to this is leaning towards combining ADHD and ASD into one conglomerate of symptoms because they overlap more often than not.
