Autism and hearing difficulties

Hey everyone,

l have a problem and I think it‘s caused by my neurodiversity. I am very sensitive to all noises and I hear things that are too silent for others to hear. Here comes the „but“: I don’t understand people.

I hear them, but their words don’t really make sense. I hear different syllables and then I try to guess what someone actually said. And more often than not, I can’t guess.

I try to read their lips but that doesn’t always work. Whenever there are other sounds around, I can’t understand anything at all anymore.

This is becoming worse and worse and I feel really handicapped by it. But I guess hearing-aids won’t help? I think the „fault“ lies in my brain?

Does anyone have a tip for me?

A lot of the worlds interpersonal issues stems from someone making assumptions about someone else based on their own experiences.

Because all you have is your knowledge and experiences and its hard not to make assumptions based off of that. But trying to remember that people might have lived through things you couldn't even begin to imagine makes a world of difference.
