I don’t have trouble hearing, but I do have trouble /processing/ what I hear. “Trouble hearing” was the closest option though

Just an extra way to make sure I’m not missing anything. Esp if they’re whispering or mumbling it’s easier to just read sometimes. And I’m a person who if I don’t understand completely every word of what is happening at all times I’m gonna rewind

I don’t believe it’s limited just to autism and adhd, but yeah for me it probably has to do with that since I’m an adhder and likely autistic
