my autistic ass contemplating the need for a fridge with this damn hum burning a permanent hole in my brain.

i just wanna do schoolwork in peace. i just wanna read and write and do a god damn thing without it's constant fuckery and not needing music or headphones because those get bothersome after a while and add to the sensory overwhelm.

in conclusion: revisiting the living in the middle of nowhere fantasy daily again, that way at least i can run outside to silence/nature noises if im bothered, unlike now where it's just... cars. how bout you?

Auditory Processing Disorder/Jumbled Noise

Risks If your cat has APD, they can get two types of headaches, lose auditory information, and be unable to access words as well as get an earache.

Comorbid What's frequently comorbid with APD is Autism, ADHD, light sensitivity and sensory processing disorder.

WIP status Jumbled Noise has a lot of conditions that need polishing or lumping it together. Earaches and the two kinds of headaches could be lumped into overstimulation, but at the same time, having the spectrum from mild headaches that you can more or less ignore to headaches that disable you from living life is very affirming to people like me who have APD. Word loss versus verbal shutdown is also something that could be lumped together but may be better apart. After all, being able to speak but unable to get the exact words you want is not the same as being unable to speak temporarily, but from an outside perspective, it may be confusing on why they are separated. Jumbled Noise still needs a lot of polish but without more community feedback, it is at a stalling point.

History Fun fact! APD and HSD were the first two conditions Mod Song ever coded completely by hirself! APD is something that they never really saw representation for so when shi got the opportunity to add it, they lept at it.

What's next? What is next is making more thoughts and waiting until we get community feedback about APD.

I was looking through a Snoopy children’s book and found this relatable scene.

Auditory Processing Disorder feels: when you can’t understand a person and you’re too exhausted to decipher what’s being said so you throw in the towel for the day.

Hey uh ...

Talking louder (aka yelling) at someone with a hearing impairment is 9/10 not the way to go around it. Especially if the person is neurodivergent. Most of the time, it’s just that they need advanced signaling that a conversation is happening.

Actually I’ve 100% been lying about using captions on videos so that I could accommodate my hearing issues this whole time. I only do it so I can see what people are saying over the crunch of my own snacking

How can you experience good with apd ? “ to share our experiences good and bad.”. Like who has a good experience with it? Like how? And who?

My experience of APD is mixed, some experiences I have because of it are good, some are bad and some are just neutral.

Personally, I kinda enjoy it when I mishear things in a really silly way, for instance, one time my boss told me that if the printer needed paper there was some under the bench. But I heard it as if the printer needed cake there was some under the bench. Which just has some really funny implications, but it was also pretty clear what was actually going on, so it wasn't that annoying, you know?

Another occasionally cool thing:

My brain does privilege speech over other sounds as it's supposed to, but it doesn't always pick the right conversation, which is annoying, but I've overheard a lot of interesting conversations that I wouldn't have if I was neurotypical

So yeah it doesn't all have to be bad
