Crazy Train, Gravy Train

I was 28 when I learned that the chorus was not "I'm going off the rails on this gravy train"

I thought it was a song about prostitution and poverty vs the ethics of keeping a sugar daddy/mommy on the hook 🤷🏽‍♀️

shoutout to the folks with auditory dyslexia tho, since I haven't seen one yet

you're not stupid for hearing something different than what someone said. it's not bad to ask someone to repeat themselves or rewind videos to catch what that line was. it's not your fault that sometimes things get all garbled and messed up if someone's talking too fast or too quietly.

y'all are valid and wonderful

My epiphany I was talking about the other day...

This video is of a guy that perfectly talks about something called auditory dyslexia. I came across it while researching an idea for a character. I always knew this was sorta a thing but I never really knew how much of a thing it was. And hearing him, and others now, talk so perfectly about I realized that I have some form of this.

For me, it happens when I'm trying to multitask or when there are a lot of other noises around me, stuff like that. It's been happening for YEARS and I never really thought anything of it. I always thought I was just bad at multitasking or that my hearing was diminishing from all the years of playing drums without ear protection or from the all the shows I've been to. And all those things may be true as well. But it's not like I just don't hear what people are saying, sometimes I just can't translate it.

The guy here explains it really well. It's like I can hear that someone is speaking to me and that they are speaking english but my brain doesn't translate it into a signal I can understand. It literally sounds like jibberish sometimes.

Like I said, this doesn't happen all the time, just every now and then. Enough for me to notice that it's been happening for years but probably not enough for me to say that I positively have auditory dyslexia. I wouldn't go that far yet. But it's just crazy to have stumbled across something like this that explains it so well, nail on the head.

It's something I need to look more into. Run some tests, crunch some numbers...

Man I wish you could learn languages through osmosis. Like I've heard japanese enough I should be able to speak in decent sentences. I've heard enough korean to have a small working vocab. God, and with actually studying spanish I should be fluent! (instead at the height of my ability, I struggled to form a spoken sentence and could barely follow along with spoke spanish.)

But I can't even learn the words to a song in a different language, no matter how many times I listen and try to sing along... unless it's gaelic or the numa numa song. I can kind of sing with that becuase my brain works in mysterious ways.

But really! my brain is just super not wired for foreign language and especially verbal communications. Quite literally, I have auditory dyslexia. Learning english was hard enough!

hey. my dad says that i have slight auditory dyslexia because i can't process two people talking to me at the same time - like, my brain goes haywire and i have to stop everything before i can think straight again. but i looked it up on wikipedia and it doesn't say anything about something like what i get. do you think my dad's right, and i have slight auditory dyslexia, or not?

Hi Hi! Not me, your father or yourself can say if you have (auditory) dyslexia.  Only a professional, can see if the problems you are struggling with are signs of that you have this learning disability. 

What you said about focusing on two people who are talking too you on you at the same time, might be a sign auditory dyslexia. Because people with auditory dyslexia can't fast focus on things that are said and need more time too understand the things they hear (for example explanations that aren't written down). I think (after reading your story)you have these symptoms. -There are a lot more symptoms but I think these are the ones that you have- 

The best thing you can do, too find out you have auditory dyslexia is too go too your school and get more information about it and too discuss your problem with your teachers. Getting help is really important! 

ps. this is a good site where there is a lot information about auditory dyslexia
