Please be patient with those of us with auditory processing disorder. We just need more time for the gears to turn in our heads.

I love going to dinner with my friends, but do restaurants have to be so loud?? Every sound turns to mush.

What if—
Steve Harrington has an audio processing disorder and that's why he was staring at Eddie's lips in the Upside Down? Like, he certainly doesn't mind staring, because they're attractive lips. But also, it wasn't initially due to infatuation or flirting.
And then, when everything is over, him and Eddie hang out a lot. And Eddie notices that Steve still stares at his lips—like a good 99% of the time. So he just leans in and kisses Steve.
And Steve like blue screens, essentially. Like that's his moment of realization? It's not like he wasn't aware of his feelings for Eddie, but he didn't realize how badly he wanted them to kiss. But now that it's happened, he has even more of a reason to keep staring at Eddie's lips. (Even though it definitely doesn't help that he stops listening and processing whatever Eddie's saying, because he just wants to kiss so bad. So Steve has to kiss Eddie every once in a while to shut him up and then ask for him to start over. And Eddie isn't bothered by this, just rolls his eyes and fakes annoyance.)
(This is brought to you by the fact that I stare at everybody's lips and yeah, sometimes I want a kiss. But also, what the fuck are you saying? I have to know.)
Edit: I reblogged already, but there's a little drabble now, if you're interested! The link can be found here!

please stop associating the term neurodivergent with JUST autism and adhd. like please. there are so many ways to be neurodivergent and it’s not fair to assume that it’s just about autism adhd.

some things i didn’t realize were my ADHD until fairly recently:
(i’m probably combined type btw)
constantly starting new projects and wanting to do loads of things all at once, and then having loads of unfinished ones all over the place because i get tired of them before i can finish them and have another idea that i want to pursue
binge-reading books or whole book series within a few hours/days and not being able to think or do anything else other than that
being suddenly possessed with the urge to clean my entire room every once a month to a few months and not being able to do anything else other than that in that time when i have that urge, and getting incredibly angry and/or anxious when interrupted
being absolutely depressed, anxious, and having SI and/or SH urges/thoughts just because i’m bored, and nothing being able to solve that boredom no matter what i try to do
feeling rejected/unloved/unwanted in a ton of situations because of the way someone worded something
not being able to follow conversations because i keep getting distracted by my trains of thought, and because i can barely understand the person i’m talking to since i can’t hear what they’re saying
forgetting something i was thinking about/told/etc. as soon as i step into a new room/environment
forgetting literally everything, and learning to make lists, checking everything so many times, and thinking again and again about something to make sure that doesn’t happen
always fidgeting in some way, even when not anxious, and needing some sort of stimuli on in the background
my brain racing 90% of the time (the other 10% is when i’m extremely exhausted and my brain is shutting off/has shut off), even when i’m not anxious, and sometimes getting overwhelmed by that
forgetting something from a few seconds ago, and constantly needing to retrace my steps, whether physically or mentally
becoming really attached to someone new incredibly fast, and then feeling nothing (or not as much at least) for them once i’m adjusted to them
and many more things. i might do a part 2 another time, and just keep adding from there. but it’s incredibly astonishing to me that i only recently figured out these things and found answers for it all.

if someone could write a book on how to do everything ‘normally’ with specific step by step instructions that’d be very appreciated!

When I'm already on my 4th "Huh," and I can tell they're about to yell in my face despite the fact that I'm two feet away:

I'm so sorry that I asked you to repeat a question & answered it halfway through you repeating it.
It will happen again.

I hate how much that autism has become a joke recently. "omg I'm so autistic 🤪" when they literally just do something a bit out of the ordinary. But in reality autism isn't that at all, especially for me. For me it's sensory issues, missing social cues, overstimulation, sensitivity, stimming, echolalia, auditory processing issues, having difficulty making and maintaining friends, etc. stop making real disorders a little joke, you are contributing to the harmful stereotypes and stigma.

Ok so I got to thinking and here's my pitch for an APD (auditory processing disorder) creature. Introducing.... the 'Huh?'

[Edit: I no longer stand by this post. You can look at my later comments on it here to see why.]
What the hell is it with some hearing people with auditory processing disorder claiming that it makes them deaf/HoH?
I mean the issues with that idea seem so obvious on its face that no one should be able to make this mistake, or at least should be able to see the error once it has been pointed out.
You can be both but having auditory processing disorder in no way makes you deaf/HoH.
Trust me, I know that audio processing disorder is a disability, but that does not make that claim any less ableist.
I would like to think that none of these people have ever interacted with a deaf/HoH person, but I know better than to think that.
