I have a very hard time hearing sometimes. It get real annoying for people around me when I ask the to repeat themselves over and over.
Don't worry about it man, if you don't catch what they say don't feel bad about asking them to repeat it, just ask them to speak a little louder because sometimes you don't hear so well, if they have a problem with that then that's their problem. Failing that you could wear a badge all the time saying speak LOUDER and keep pointing to it when you cant hear, or a badge with a little speaker on ant keep tapping it and when someone asks what are you doing just say im having trouble hearing you so im trying to make my speaker louder, hopefully they will find it funny and speak up for you.I have a very hard time hearing sometimes.

I just thought that some of the things I said in my post might be seen as abit nasty or at least a bit flippant ( the badge stuff), I wasn't trying to make light of your problem and if it came across like that I apologise.Don't worry about it man, if you don't catch what they say don't feel bad about asking them to repeat it, just ask them to speak a little louder because sometimes you don't hear so well, if they have a problem with that then that's their problem.

I've been there, WhoseLineFan. Because of my NLD, I wasn't able to tie my shoes up until I was 14. It took me practically months of practice until I was finally able to do it and when I was able, I was proud of myself.Because of my autism, I can't tie my shoes. And now I have to learn how to tie them. But I know that if I don't give up with learning how to tie and keep doing it right, I will be able to do it and be very proud of myself that I did.
