You might struggle with auditory processing if…

- Your catchphrase is “what?”

- You ask someone to repeat their question then finish processing and respond halfway through they’re finished repeating it.

- You somewhat processed what someone said but your brain won’t take it.

- You mishear what people say wildly wrong. Like, wildly wrong. Then you process it and it makes wayyyy more sense than whatever you thought someone originally said.

- “Wait, what?”

- Default face is a perplexed, confused look.

- You have to deal with rude people who refuse to repeat themselves and act exasperated at the suggestion, than proceed to get angry when you won’t respond to them and/or remember what they just said.

- You can hear a car door open down the street but you can’t hear someone talking to you in the same room.

- Talking is weird.

- You’re constantly seen as a bad listener (which, maybe isn’t that far from the truth- but they assume you’re not trying), unfocused (which I tend to be, but it’s unrelated), and so on. Nobody stops to consider that maybe you have processing issues.

- You were tested for hearing issues as a kid because you didn’t respond to people or talk much, but every test came back negative and your parents were told you have perfect hearing.

- The idea of talking to two people at once is terrifying beyond imagining.

- Responding to something someone said ages ago, even with a different conversation still going, the topic has moved on, and everyone forgot about it.

- “Huh?!”

This is something that I have struggled with, all of my life. Never ending speech therapy sessions and tests to figure out that I do have this disability.

Although I mostly cope with it now, sometimes it’s still tough listening to directions and trying to hear what the other says.

He looks so happy

Understanding consent is as easy as FRIES.

Consent is:

Well then

Please don’t. I am not fast

I don’t like running

wait… if you have social anxiety… and i have social anxiety…

I wanna go hiking w Shia LaBeouf I feel like he would listen to all my problems and tell me everything is going to be okay and then throw a rock at me

There is an entire song about why it’s a bad idea to go into the woods with shia labeouf

my life is basically just a constant cycle of finally getting past the thing i was stressing about and then immediately finding something else to stress me out even if it isn’t happening for another 4 months

I am only going to say this ONCE

As a white feminist who is trying every day not to be a White Feminist™, I want to do everything I can to be an ally to WOC without ever speaking over them.

So if I mistakenly reblog something that is not for me, please tell me (anon or not – whatever makes you comfortable), and I will take it down immediately.

Honestly more white women need to have this idea cause most of em will post something about woc (especially black women) and they’ll get mad when you, a woc, is offended by it. Like what?
