Autism & face blindness 😢, auditory processing difficulties πŸ‘‚.

But this other way of it presenting is more a competing of sounds is the way I often describe it. So as I've mentioned before, as an Autistic, the cognitive load is massive to begin with, with respect to all of the data coming in from all of my senses, an attempt to not only perceive it, but to make sense of it, to translate it and then somehow find how to interact with the world

And it presents to me a challenge for me to be more aware of autism, as I'm aware of other things about people. This is just another thing that I need to be more aware of and thoughtful of. So I really appreciate this offering. I have to admit that I didn't understand that there was a spectrum or that the spectrum is very big as to the different types of autism that one can have

Thank you for this feedback. There's something so satisfying in knowing that someone else is beginning to see the vastness of the complexities of the spectrum of autism, because this has been a journey for me. I mean, it still is. I'm still learning. And the more I learn about it, the more I find it so fascinating and cool. Not just to learn about myself and how I experience the world and make sense of it, but how other autistics do

And respond to in a moment where I'm able to have a quiet background or a less noisy background, or if I'm in a position where I can pause or stop the background noise, then I'll do it, leave my response and then continue with whatever I was doing. I appreciate it and also appreciated it both current and past tense so much because more often my experience has been someone might have some diagnoses condition, experience, trigger, whatever the thing is, okay, they'll have that

And now that I know more about myself and what I need, then I waffle, because there's times when people have taken it in and then there have been many times where people don't and they'll get upset or angry or ignore me or delete my and so then it's like, do I say something or don't I? But I appreciated also you're mentioning Maya Angelo's quote there. You teach people how to treat you, and that's true

And I think that information is just vital to being able to have better relationships with more people to understand that this is how some people brains process things. And I really appreciate that and then I'm sorry because I know a lot of my posts. I do outside. That's my favorite place to do and I am able to most of the time kind of not kind of tune those things out, but I am in the middle of the city and so sometimes there is substantial background noise

I don't know what it was, but I do know I wanted to say thank you for receiving this information and also for thinking about your phone, an upcoming name change, and I appreciate it so much. Thank you

So just wanted to speak on that and say, I understand where you're coming from, and that makes me know that even though I'm undiagnosed as the autistic, I have put myself on that spectrum now, along with my son and my daughter. Now she is diagnosed now with the ADHD, but I am bad with ADHD brain. But again, like I said in the reply I did on one of your others, it's becoming more and more clear to me

I think I mentioned in another swell to you that I rented a car recently, and so when I'm not normally out and about and all of that, it just takes a massive toll, like you said, just massive. I remember seeing recently I've seen it before, but I always forget the comorbidity between ADHD and autism is, like, super high. I think it can be like as low as I want to say 30 or 40%, but it can be as high as 80%
