Does anyone else have problems with processing what people tell you? My mum will tell me something and I listen to her but it doesn’t process. Mum said “I’m off out now like I told you” and I said “Wait what? You never told me”, Mum then got annoyed and said “Why do you never listen to me?? It really frustrates me!” I feel super guilty and try to explain but she doesn’t understand. However hard I try to process information it just doesn’t stay in. It’s not like when I’m told I remember, I just don’t remember ever being told that information. It’s so annoying!!

yeah thats super common for autism whether its a concurrent auditory processing issue or whether you dont LOOK like youre listening because we dont make eye contact because it muddies up processing. Very spicy autism thing.

Words are very hard to hold onto! It’s not just you!
