#auditoryprocessingdisorder — Public Fediverse posts

Tomorrow should be interesting. I'm going in to the audiologist for an annual review of my audiogram and also APD (auditory processing disorder).

This will be helpful for my new speech therapist (SLP) that I meet the next day.

I've been kinda neglecting my APD since getting good at reading lips and closed captions, but think I can still do better to aid in comprehension in conversations with humans.

sometimes I wish it was possible to be like Hoshi Sato, just picking up entire languages in a couple days

I always watch stuff with subtitles bc I have some minor auditory processing issues¹

lately I've been watching a lot of dubbed² stuff³ and it's been really fascinating seeing the differences between the dubs and the subtitles meant as a translation for the original language

I mean, it's similar to the way subtitles meant for #Deaf and #HardOfHearing viewers are sometimes slightly off from what was said (which is an #accessibility issue)

¹ it's worst over the phone, which is fun since that's my whole job, or if I otherwise can't see the person who's speaking, which sometimes happens in TV/movies
² I finished #Ranma12 and started #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo
³ or, in the case of #StopHibariKun, both an anime and a manga with fan translations by different people

Funny thing last week with #accents — for context, my visual acuity and #ventral stream are stronger than average, but I've got some #AuditoryProcessingDisorder or auditory #agnosia so that listening to thick accents is like watching with subtitles that autocorrect.

An audio-only Welsh accent said "Cally Cook" but I heard the word "Kirk". Then it hit me that #CaptainKirk and #CaptainCook are both famous captains … COULD THEY BE the same name on purpose?

Guess what: James Cook, James Kirk.

Anyone at #ARO2024 is very welcome to drop by my poster. M24.

I just realized why I hate #remoteworking when everyone around me seems to love it: it fucks with my #AuDHD #masking.

I didn't realize until I was forced to WFH in 2020 just how much I rely on #bodydoubling to function: everything from assessing how hard I'm supposed to be working based on the people around me, to remembering to each lunch. I'm much better at conversation IRL - being on the phone constantly with people whose lips I can't see messes with my #auditoryprocessing, which makes me more socially anxious, which makes it harder to focus and retain information. It threw off the daily routine I was precariously managing. I can't just copy the emotional reactions of everyone around me = I don't know what the "appropriate" emotional reactions are for situations = I just default to constant anxiety.

I feel bad because so many #neurodivergent folks really prefer #WFH but I selfishly want y'all to come back to the office so I can unfuck my life 😩 Am I alone here, @actuallyautistic ?

What autistics mean when we say this world is not made for us: How fun activities push autistics into the margins

Lots of us watch videos or listen to podcasts at 2x speed, right? This seems to be a pretty well known thing. Less than 1.75 just always seems too slow for me.

But this is only true when someone is speaking normally. If someone is reading from a script, it sounds completely unnatural to me, and I can't process it all, even at normal speed, unless I concentrate exceptionally hard.

Someone suggested that maybe it's that the average person isn't very good at reading aloud, but I don't think it's that. Even top-rated audiobooks are also entirely impossible to listen to.

Doe anyone else relate to any of this, or have any pointers to anything where I could learn more? I've read some stuff on #AuditoryProcessingDisorder, but most of that doesn't apply to me, and I'm struggling to find anything else related.

One clue seems to be that stand-up comedy seems to work, even though that's mostly scripted. I don't really know what the difference is, but my guess would be that they work hard at making it sound natural, whereas most people reading speak in a different manner. But I don't have the vocabulary for describing any of this, so don't know how to google for more.
