Hi hello
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing!
Do you have Asperger's too? I thought they were related. I have Asperger's with sensory processing disorder.
I have Aspergers and I just found I have APD aswell
Hi APD fellows- Do you also have trouble speaking and forgetting words? It's typical for me to not say a complete sentence when I speak because I forget words as I am speaking. It seems like I can only focus on one thing when I speak. I focus on completing a sentence instead of making my speech more elaborate.
Yep it happens a lot I hate it.
I was diagnosed in kindergarten with A.P.D. and A.D.H.D.!
Guys, I got a friend whom I always get frustrated with as every time I am telling him a story he would ask me questions that I already gave the answers in the story. So for example one time I told him that I am at the bus station and I have to wait 20 min for my bus. Right after I told him that he said "next time let me know and I will order you a uber". Then I told him again that I am at the bus station and his next question was " how long do you have to wait". Can someone tell me if this sounds like APD and if there are more symptoms that I can look for? He already tested his years and he is fine.
A second opinion is an option or something else could be going on. Like ADHD or ASD. Only a professional would know for sure.
@@rahbeeuh thank you

People with APD typically have normal hearing as far as an audiologist test for hearing goes. An APD test is different.
My son was diagnosed when he was 7. He has a severe case. I was hoping for some better news. He is getting help but it is going really slowly. At least some APD people go to college. That is helpful to know.
I have APD. I finished nursing school, became an Army Nursing Corps officer then used the GI Bill to go to a top law school. The sky is the limit.
Well we aren't dumb.
Maybe you have anxiety cause ur a bum with a fake career
Thank you for sharing your story. I was diagnosed with APD at a young age and was provided additional support. Hope you’re doing well and your video is much needed support for my current college endeavors.
Another APD person here, got diagnosed when I was really young (probably pre-k-1st grade) and IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to catch and treat this in the early years of a child's development. Elementary is a crucial time for these kinds of things, as I also had speech difficulties (yay!) during the time and I very much needed that help. Middle school and above will have a much more difficult time, especially those who have a worse experience with this kind of disorder. My mom has always been paying attention to me and my sister about these things because she also had speech delays and my dad probably has APD (undiagnosed, though). I was able to get treated for this earlier and have a mostly normal life, but it really never goes away. I feel like if I got a job I wouldnt be productive because I cant understand other people as well. This occured when I went to a cooking camp and the woman in charge of my class had this SUPER STRONG ACCENT. Couldnt understand a thing and wasnt given written instructions so I was always left in the dark. It honestly scarred me and I always think about it. But its not like I can go around being like "hey I got APD I cant understand crap woman" . Just something we'll always be burdened with and if you cant read or understand someone properly know that its not your fault. Oop sorry that was sort of a rant but you're not alone!!
Thick accents are so annoying! I have this cleaning job and at one of the schools I was assigned to, my two supervisors had ethnic accents. One was an African lady and I think the other man was from Pakistan, I could be wrong though. They would tell me one thing and I would misunderstand and do something wrong and annoy them. I still have ptsd from when I didn’t vaccum a specific group of classrooms that the African lady asked me to do... ...man, I love my brain.
How were you treated for APD?
@@Anonymous09981 I was diagnosed when I was young, so I'm probably missing some details. APD cannot be cured, so it's mostly a matter of learning to cope with the disorder. Something my mom did when I was small that helped is simplifying sentences, so instead of saying, "Can you please take your dishes to the sink" she'd say "Dishes to sink." School-wise, around 1st/2nd grade I received speech therapy which helped me distinguish sounds and also helped me with my lisp. In 3rd/5th grade I wore hearing aids that connected to a mic on the teachers chest which amplified sounds so I could hear it clearly when there was a lot of background noise. I'm in highschool now, and have 504 accommodations that provide small group testing, extended time, and seating close to the front. The seating is especially important to me as it puts me closer to the teacher and farther away from any distractions. One year my elementary school didn't bother to inform any of the teaching staff that I had accommodations, and my knowledge and grades suffered for it. I was far away from the teacher and turned away from the board, so I often unplugged and didn't pay attention to lessons. When my mom noticed, she had the teachers informed of my accommodations. Teachers who thought I didn't care about the class, but that all changed once I had better seating. It's the little things that help in the long run.
@@savannahcraven5093 thank you! That’s helpful! My daughter was diagnosed several months ago at 12. But I suspected it for many years. It’s made learning difficult overall. Especially reading and math. But we press on!
Hey man, I'm 21 years old and I have APD too. I was diagnosed in elementary school when I did not really understand what it was. Now that I do, I realized that the best thing to do is except what you have.
I just turned 20 yesterday and I just got diagnosed on Thursday🥲🥳
I resonate with this a lot. I just got diagnosed at 42. I really wish I was diagnosed in Elementry so I wouldn’t have had to struggle so much. I had to work 2-3 times harder than my peers just to get a C or B. It’s very exhausting.
Oh wow! Glad to know someone like me is out there. I just got diagnosed too at age 47. Same here. No matter how hard I tried, the best I could do in school was Cs. Such a diagnose didn't even exist when I was in school so to everyone else, I am a dumb kid in class growing up although I didn't feel like I was dumb.
@@dogmom007 same. It’s so hard when you know your not as dumb as you may come across… and then add on top how hard you work compared to everyone else.
exactly it's so depressing especially at work where management just yells at you and thinks you're dumb I hate that.
It’s okay man I have it too, I’m 16 and it’s pretty hard for me to do a lot of things that my friends do and I fee like they think that I am retarted
Hey I have adp too, yet to meet anyone irl who has it. It’s a massive hinderence and takes away a lot of social confidence. But gotta Stay strong 💪
Sorry I go thru the same thing. 😥😥I'll love to me your friend.
That’s my friend!
