  I’m ADHD (inattentive type, so just ADD I guess).

  This all checks out. The audio processing disorder part is particularly frustrating. I can hear everything perfectly, but can’t focus on a person speaking because my brain will give equal attention to every other noise source around me.

    THAT’S A SYMPTOM OF ADD??? I did not know that!

      Look up ADHD and “Auditory Processing Disorder”. I believe there’s a decent overlap between the two.
