For me, I have to focus on what task it is I am doing. If I get interrupted or side tracked by one of my furkids, I have to re-group. I cannot multi-task. No way no how.
Sometimes I say or use words that do not fit the dialogue going on. Then I get strange looks. Or I will be asked like what in the world is your problem? Are you a retard? What is your your problem? Sometimes they walk away from me, which I find very rude.
My bio-father always is insulting me. He just has no idea of how horrible his tongue is. For example, he belittles me for stuttering. Or if I have to repeat words in 3's he looks at me like I'm crazy. He just has no clue.
If I am in a social setting, and those who know of my disabilities, they tend to help me. I hang around them, and I try to listen for key words or jestures (face, hands). Online is so much harder.
Lyme Disease is something that we all should be checked for. I was many times. But I was also diagnosed when I was younger. Good thinking Outlaw.
