An Actually Serious Post For Once.

An actually serious post for once.

I don't do these much.

I think it's weird how there's a lot of people with diagnosis' of little-known things, but they themselves weren't told what it is. Sometimes the doctor will tell you what it is to a parent, and then barely explain it to the kid that actually has it.

About two years ago i was diagnosed with auditory processing disorder, more specifically, Spatial Auditory Processing Disorder.

Now, I wasn't really told what it was. I was only told the smallest bit about it. The person who diagnosed me simply told me; "You struggle to block out other noises." That’s not nearly the extent of it. Sure, that's one bit. In noisy places, I struggle to block out other sounds and focus on one conversation. I also can't really tell where a sound is coming from. Is it from the left, is it from the right, is it front or behind? I struggle to figure that out. I struggle to separate a main noise/conversation from background conversation as well. I also have Autonomic Dysfunction. This can be like a less severe version of POTS. If you don't know, POTS, (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome,) is 'a condition where your heart rate increases excessively when you stand up.' To be diagnosed with POTS, your heartrate must go up by more than 30 beats above your resting heartrate as soon as you stand up.

Autonomic Dysfunction is 'a condition where the autonomic nervous system (ANS) doesn't function properly, leading to various bodily issues.' For me, my main problem is my heart rate. When people without Autonomic Dysfunction stand up, their blood vessels actually narrow to keep the same blood pressure. Mine, however, do not. My blood actually struggles to get around my body. It struggles to get to my brain, hands and feet, and more importantly, my heart. Put these two with my low blood pressure and low iron, and you get a problem. Please, if you ever get diagnosed with something, ASK ABOUT IT. Just this information was a pain to get out of my parents and the doctor. Faster you can get the information, the easier it is to live with.
