Comment on Audiologists raise concern over headphone use in young people

Yeah those first couple paragraphs were just “ADHD/autistic woman behaves like an ADHD/autistic woman. Time to blame her for using accommodation equipment!” (Not actually Dx’ing her, but I recognize a lot of my own patterns here).

Like for fuck’s sake let us have our small bits of sanity. Tuning out the constant hell that is everyday life is not a sin.

they did say she was able to pay attention just fine watching lecture videos with subtitles. Also she is just an example, they said this problem is on the rise in general.

  Someone with ADHD can better focus when they get the info simultaneously as text and audio? Unbelievable! Plus it’s the most over and under diagnosed disorder at the same time. Under diagnosed within women particularly. It’s getting diagnosed better and more often, so it fits too.
  
  I don’t say that she has it but most neurodiverse will see lot’s of checked boxes.

    Or… maybe she really does have APD as her doctors says she does?

    …because APD has some similar symptoms to ADHD.
