Central Auditory Processing Disorder

This was very hard for me to talk about. I get depressed or stressed about being different because of a disorder. I want to have a good brain that processes every info correctly for me. It's hard. i was diagnosed when i was like 6.

@TheAnnaAftershock Thank you Anna. And I too am very proud of you . Anorexia is a bad experience too I am sure but when you think about it, when you fight through it that makes you a stronger person :D I love you too and thank you for commenting. I am very glad as well being friends with you and looking for used condoms in the girls bathroom XDXD

i understand exactly how you feel i have CAPD too, i was also diagnosed when i was about 5 or 6. I did have earlier signs of speech delay and i was unable to understand emotions when i was really little. I am 17, not much older than you are and i still get very depressed about it. Nobody understands how i feel/ really want to say.

what IS that exactly? and yes i watched the whole video but give me a few symptoms

[3pinkfreak3]

@pyramidhead138 well some are mistaking words with others, needing to hear one thing at a time or else you will forget, not being able to concentrate, loud noisy places are a problem there are so much more. you can look up a few more online as well.

I have it and I'm a 26 year old women just diagnosed. I knew something was wrong growing up my whole life but couldn't put my finger on it neither could anyone else. Often mistaken for hearing problem but I have perfect hearing. I just couldn't process all the information that was spoken to me. It is difficult but I have gotten this far and I have a great job & good friends. We aren't dumb just different & we have to use different skills. So keep your head up your not alone BIG HUGES!! :) h

[Forgineers]

I understand how you feel. I hate the anxiety and depression that can come with having it. I personally never really get much sleep also. I just hate how teachers and parents just don't even understand it and it makes me mad when I try really hard to focus and I can't. I really want to give you a hug right now. I know exactly how you feel. It sucks so much. Hope you can feel better and things go good for you! :)

i am a 17 year old girl and i also have a processing disorder, it is very frusterating to read something and not remember what i just read, it is also very frusterating when someone doesnt know what its like and assume im just using my disability as an exsuse to not do my school. its not an exsuse, when i say i cant do something then i really cant do it but nobody understands what its really like.... some days i just want to crawl into a hole and die because people just think im stupid.... :'(

[DaVideoMaker3000]

I've heard of it! Wanna know y? I HAVE IT ALSO!!! Trust me, I know it makes you feel different. I've been there. I've gotten in a lot of trouble skipping school and stuff too. But don't let that get you down. If you had the guts to make a video about this, you-- FOR SURE-- have the guts to get through it all! WWOOOOOOOOHHHOOO!!!

You are my hero! I mean this with all my heart, I'm 17 going to be 18 in 5 months, and I've had this disorder since I was 2 years old, I totally understand your pain. I am so glad that you had the courage to do this video. I know what its like to be different or in an outcast because of this disorder, It isn't easy but we can fight this together. Again, Thank you for posting this video and you're gonna be my hero. :)

(1/2) I can totally relate to you. I'm going to be 16 in a little over a month and I also have capd. Even though I was diagnosed early (2-4yrs.) luckily because of my personality traits I was able to be correctly diagnosed. Even after speech/hearing therapy in my early years, it's still hard to cope with. The bad part is that I've read about it getting worse with age and I'm starting to feel it. Getting the headaches more often, sometimes so bad I can't even listen to people talk...

[mikethemoneymaker]

It's very clear, the rest of your life will be more difficult than others but you will become stronger emotionally as you get older. You are a good person and I am telling you this from the bottom of my heart.

i have might have apd, when i was born i could only hear 15 percent of what was being said because of an ear infection. i surgically got tubes put into my inner ears when i was 3. then i could here about 95 of what's said. I've read alot about it that people with this disorder can sometimes get it from an ear infection. i can still here but it's hard to do sometimes, i'm 15 too by the way. I know what your struggleing through.
