Sunday January 12, 2025 | Journal prompt: Auditory processing problems, Later I found out it was auditory processing disorder

-
Auditory processing is a type of hearing loss just as I thought. I found new information or so I thought. Did I post this and forget that I posted this?

I seem to be forgetting things a lot lately. I just want to know if memory loss is part of peri/and menopause?  I'm just in the start of perimenopause and I haven't had a period since October 2014.  So next October I will hit the menopause transition for "The Change". Yeah, I have been really feeling the effects of perimenopause since I was well I would say about when I was 41 I started noticing hotflashes from perimenopause but my doctor thought I was too young. I would say that is about right. Perimenopause for 10 years? Then not having a period in November, December and January so far.   But it's more like the way my brain has trouble processing information or people telling jokes. It will take me a minute to get it to through my amigdale and through my brain.   Just read.





Auditory processing disorder (APD)

Overview

Auditory processing disorder, also called APD, is a type of hearing loss caused by something affecting the part of the brain that processes how you hear. Ear damage causes other types of hearing loss.

APD is also sometimes called central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). It can happen in anyone. But it most often happens in children and older adults.

Many conditions can affect how well a person understands what they hear, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism. But these conditions are different from auditory processing disorder, although they can appear with APD. APD also can happen with other types of hearing loss.

Auditory processing disorder has no cure. But treatments can help you hear better.

Symptoms

Symptoms of auditory processing disorder (APD) can be subtle. Symptoms can include having trouble with:

  • Telling where sound is coming from.
  • Understanding words that are spoken quickly or in a noisy room.
  • Paying attention.
  • Reading and spelling.
  • Following directions unless they are short and simple.
  • Learning a new language.
  • Singing or enjoying music.
  • Understanding and remembering spoken information.

If you have APD, you also might:

  • Take longer to reply to someone who is talking to you.
  • Often need others to repeat themselves.
  • Not understand sarcasm or jokes.

Sunday August 25, 2024 | My dream on Saturday night August 24 | Hypnosis for selective mutism

-
I had a dream that I was in the hospital in Galveston Texas like the one I was in when I was 10 years old.  Working on getting rid of SM through hypnosis.  Is there a good hynosis therapist in Beaumont Texas who specializes in selective mutism?   I am determined to overcome selective mutism now or at least most of the way.  Some idiot told me that I won't be able to overcome SM entirely.  Ugh!  Or will I be able to overcome SM entirely?

Wednesday August 28, 2024 | Do parent's say this to their kids who have a disability? (the highlighted words in this blog)

-
Got this from copilot from the question I asked, " would people pleasing be an example of "you don't want to disappoint mom do you"? "   Is this true?   Sorry I had a flash back of my dad saying that question phrase that is highlighted in yellow.    (A phrase that my dad said to me when I was 3 and 4 years.)  Ah, the delicate dance between parental expectations and a child’s desire to please! 🕺🌼 Let’s waltz through this topic, shall we? “You don’t want to disappoint mom, do you?” —a phrase that can carry both love and a subtle weight. It’s like a mini emotional tug-of-war, with the child caught in the middle, clutching their teddy bear and pondering life’s mysteries.   Here’s the scoop: The Mom Guilt Tango : Parents often mean well when they say this. They want their child to succeed, be kind, and make them proud. It’s like they’re handing the child a bouquet of expectations, hoping they’ll bloom into the perfect little sunflower....

I knew this when I was 5 and no one had to tell me this. So is this really true? But because I have selective mutism, my learning challenging and people think that I am stupid. It is that communication thing that people think that I'm stupid. I know the highlighted and BIG LETTERS SOUNDS unreasonable, I just want to get across to people that I am anxious all the time! Do I have to start cursing for you people to hear me? I will. I know that BIG MOTHER OF ALL CURSE WORDS. I bet no one knew that did they? Actually, I got it from those kids at the hospital in Galveston when I was in the hospital back in 1984. So I knew about that word when I was about 9 or 10 years old. Actually when I was 4 years old I felt like I didn't belong because I was trying to tell myself how or where I got my selective mutism and I felt that way for a long time. Maybe my dad has ADHD? Perhaps my parents have ADHD and it somehow turns into autism in children? High-functioning Autism. I th...
