i have auditory processing disorder
it feels good finally admitting it to the interwebs. I have spoken on this in the past on some podcast episodes. but now I'm fully embracing this side of me.
I have auditory processing disorder and I'm a podcaster/manager!
I love podcasts. I love listening to them and working on them and having one! it's so ironic isn't it? however, I see it as a super power. here's why
🩷 I can hear things others can't. if there's some weird sounds in an audio file that others simply miss, it sticks out to me like a sore thumb
🩷 I value listening. I have to listen harder than most to understand what's being said.
🩷 Patience is key. I take things at a slower pace with podcasts, but being patient really can prove to be beneficial.
What disability do you have that doesn't stop you from doing what you love?

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) is often misunderstood, yet many creatives find strength in their unique experiences. For those with APD, like podcasters, the ability to hear subtleties in sound can enhance audio quality, setting them apart in a crowded field. While some may struggle with processing audio quickly, this challenge can foster a deeper appreciation for nuance. Individuals with APD frequently develop strategies that involve taking extra time to dissect sound patterns, leading to a thorough understanding of audio production. Patience becomes a vital skill, enabling these creators to dissect each podcast episode meticulously, ensuring the final product resonates well with listeners. Moreover, the bond that develops from sharing personal experiences as someone with a learning disability can create a supportive community. Those who identify with similar challenges often find solace in shared stories, as they navigate and celebrate their journeys. Ultimately, auditory processing disorder may present challenges, but it also cultivates unique skills and perspectives that can significantly benefit the podcasting world. Embracing this identity opens doors to authenticity, inspiring not only oneself but also encouraging others who may feel sidelined by their disabilities.
