I very often feel like other people are a completely different species and I either don't understand them at all, or I have to concentrate really hard in order to understand what they are trying to say.....particulary if I'm taken off guard and not expecting a question or conversation. Usually I pick up a word or two, but am always asking "what?" or "what did you say"?.....gets a bit embarressing if I have to ask them 2-3 times.....sometimes it just doesn't work at all and all I hear is "blah, blah, blah, sandwich, blah, blah" and i just have to shrug helplessly and pretend I'm partially deaf.....

Yes, but it depends soley on the symptoms at a given time because with me they cycle better /worse over time ;btw this aspect of this first manifested itself when I was under stress starting with my move into 'the real world' making a living .

At it's worse I don't get it immediately and this makes me nervous and can add to this 'density' even more.
I end up obsessing over it trying to figure it out later, because the darn 'cpu hangs'.
(At its best there is not a problem here?)
In a crowd though, the background noise always over-rides anyone in conversation with me.
