One of my sensory issues is that I have difficulty processing multiple streams of audio at once. My sense is that this is common among autistic people - but does anyone have a name for it, or a specific diagnosis? Just "audio processing disorder" or something? Which pops up tons of resources on kids, nothing on adults...

I'm looking both for better self-understanding and some information to help me advocate for a quieter environment in my office.

@actuallyautistic I think audiologists say audio processing disorders. I recently saw one about it. apparently modern hearing aids can filter/equalize/compensate and help with processing issues. I have some on order and am excited they might help. I also ordered molded earplugs bc that's enough hearing loss tyvm

Oh, interesting, I didn't know hearing aids could help with that! Hm, maybe I should try and get a referral.
