Colleagues : Do you have auditory issues ?
Me : ? No ? Why ?
Them : Cause you're always talking so loud and you don't realize it, so we were wondering. It's totally fine but we're curious !
Me, and ADHDer with auditory processing disorder who grew up in a large family : Oh !! Sorry, no, yeah, I don't have problems with my ears but I do have a issue with hearing, my brain doesn't process voices the same way other people do ! I hear just fine but I can't measure my own voice or other noises, everything feels the same to me, sorry... *Laughs a bit*
Them : So... You do have auditory issue ?
Me, defeated : .....Yeah, kind of yeah
Them : Alright that happens ! Don't worry about it, we'll tell you if it's too loud. Let's go !
It's always so embarrassing when people notice and tell me about my loud voice T_T but they were chill about it ! We have some disabled student so I'm not surprised they were chill about it, we moved on and don't bring it up again (it was last month)
