    I wish people would have an understanding that to tell someone that they are too thin is not ok. No one would tell someone they are too fat.

    I have always been slim but due to health issues three years ago and waiting for three ops I lost a lot of weight. Even the lady in the supermarket asked me if I was ok as I had lost a lot of weight.

    Did these people not realise I knew this and was very aware of it.

    Thankfully I had the ops and after 18 months did put some weight back on.

    Why do people judge so much on how you look?

    I bought some new clothes and held my head up and still went out on my good days.

    I was still me.

    Hi Sheffieldman1976,

    I am aware that many like me who have the Temporal type of Auditory Processing Disorder have cognitive problems processing and identifying rapid speech.

    We have lifelong problems processing and identifying the gaps between th4e sounds the ears hear. The key clinical assessment test id the Random Gap Detection Test which attempts to measure the size of gap between the sounds the ears hear the brain is able to process and identify. When i did the test in 2003 it did not include a gap between sounds large enough for me to identify, which explained my problems with rapid speech which to me is one continuous noise, and it explained my dyslexia as i am cognitively not able to use phonics.

    When i was running the APDUK support organisation a lady from Liverpool, a nurse who worked in a hospital operating theatre and her job was to provide the patients required support post operation. but she had problems understanding the Surgeons instructions due to his local rapid speech, so she had to leave her job..
