  • I'm not ASD (here because my SD16 has a diagnosis) but I've got auditory processing issues related to DCD.

    I find discerning speech in noisy environments (wind, city streets, crowds) very difficult. My SO is sensitive to this and knows to work with me by making sure I can watch him speaking - I'm not lip reading but it kind of is.

    I also know I can tune down my noise sensitivity by getting tactile input, so my noise filtering is much better after swimming for example.
