What's a good, and very inexpensive way, to learn #BSL at home? I don't know if/when the NHS can help with my #AudioProcessingDisorder so I think the best thing is to learn sign.

Experiencing Handel’s Messiah as a #neurodivergent person with poor sonic perception

I hate when I'm talking to someone (especially on the phone) and someone gets mad at me for not hearing their words the first or second time.

Then it makes so afraid to ask "sorry can you repeat that?" because I know that they're going get more annoyed with me.

Dig Your Own Hole by @chemicalbrothers.bsky.social - 5/5

So apparently I am the first person to use the hashtag #audioprocessingdisorder which is understandable considering the character limit. So anyone searching for #APD I am listening to 55 albums this month and rating how listenable I find them as someone with APD.

#audioprocessingdisorder score: 3/5. It's honestly quite challenging, with some higher-pitched instruments, heavily layered sounds, complex and wide-ranging vocals that are sometimes fast. However, there are a lot of loops that help ground things and the overall effect is usually cohesive.
