The first day, my legs were tired and cramped, and I slept a lot the rest of the week. Aside from that, I was fully recovered within a few hours. The trick is figuring out what caused the seizure and making sure it doesn't happen again.

Something is odd about this picture, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Politics is mean and hard, and Gisele — soft Gisele, who cries three times over the course of this interview — had no choice but to get good at it: After her husband suffered a stroke four days before the Pennsylvania primary election last spring, she stepped up and became his surrogate, delivering his acceptance speech and campaigning across the state.
“It’s easy because I know his message, and I love him, and I know how good he is, and I get to tell that to people,” she says.
Later on this day, after a visit to an abortion clinic and a shift at the Free Store 15104, her mutual aid project, she will do an interview with KDKA, a local TV station, about the puppy allegations. Reached for comment by KDKA political editor Jon Delano, the Oz campaign’s senior spokesman Barney Keller responded: “Who is Gisele? Is she running for something?”
“Had he been married to anybody else, I think his recovery and ability to stay in this race would have been drastically diminished,” says Brit Crampsie, a Pennsylvania political consultant who is not working with the Fetterman campaign. “Not many people have a surrogate like Gisele in their pocket, should they fall ill.”

Auditory processing isn't rare. And it has nothing to do with intelligence. I worked with students who had it. Many were diagnosed as ADHD because they didn't answer to teachers or to other students, but they didn't hear it when there were other sounds. They couldn't hear some things when there were other noises.
For students, I made sure that they were front and right in line with the teachers in the classroom and that the teachers would reach out to the students instead of yelling at them.
When people know they have have auditory processing issues, they know what to do. One of the good things about covid is that information is now available with speech, captioning and ASL.

Naw, I think what you are experiencing is age related hearing loss. It's not just that the volume is reduced, but it's the high frequencies. It makes it difficult to discern vowels. Throw in background noise, and you are screwed. (as I am) I am planning soon to bite the bullet and get hearing aides (which include background noise reduction).

Think about the effort involved, plus having to construct it from memory. Not everyone experiences it like I did, but it's exhausting to try to parse and reparse a conversation until the phonemes make real words. Fortunately, over time fewer sounds required reparsing until I'm now at about 95% accuracy. It does make understanding my ESL colleague (from India) difficult still.

Me too, but slowly and I really had to think about it. I think its good for you Slim, but I dont know what it means for someone who cant read it. Nothing maybe.
I think its a really insightful illustration.

I've had to tell people to repeat themselves because I don't listen as fast as they are talking. I just have bad tinnitus though, so sometimes I'll miss sounds.

It's rather how my brain forces me to process colors -- I have a non-optical form of color blindness which involves the way my brain decides what color is what; I am forced to rely on cues of memory ("I have been told X is blue by someone trustworthy in the past and X is in my visual frame at the same time as something else which appears to be the same, therefore I must trust and believe that this thing Y is also blue"). Without those cues and processes, I see only 'heat', 'coolness', 'neutrality', and, yeah, black and white (I never mistake black for cool or white for heat, but I can mistake cool for black or heat for white).W.

MY brain started down the line of "maybe those folks who insist they see aura's are experiencing something real then.
(actually: I never thought they were not experiencing something real, just that what they were experiencing wasn't what they said it was. I dunno what to think about it now.
Cue the Twilight Zone theme.

Wait, are you telling me that not everything has a slight glowing outline around it? I've been seeing that for as long as I remember. I just ignore it mostly.

My niece has the form of synesthesia in which she perceives numbers as having colors. I find it odd that it’s common enough to have its own name. Brains can be strange things!

Well, just remember us guys have two brains: The big brain and the little brain. Sometimes the little brain wins when it takes all the blood from the big brain.

If I understand what you're saying, I do the same thing. Mine aren't exactly abstracts, more of a number chunk. It makes adding and subtracting and multiplying in my head pretty easy.Gregg wrote: ↑Sun Oct 23, 2022 3:13 amI see numbers as spatial abstracts.
