		<description>@frugalfreak: Sorry... I probably need to put spam protection on the wiki. I should be able to restore them from the changelogs in the future, though.

&lt;b&gt;Edit:&lt;/b&gt; I&#039;ve added a simple text captcha that should be enough to throw off the most primitive spammers. (I&#039;d have used an image except for the hypocrisy of using an inaccessible CAPTCHA on a wiki related to accessibility!) I might also add the Bad Behavior plugin at some point.</description>

		<description>Coming in late via FWD.  Three more for the list, from someone who suspects they have mild - medium AP problems.

* I can play various computer or console games right out of the box, without having to chase about to find the hidden setting which turns on the subtitles (or without having to chase about and discover there &lt;i&gt;isn&#039;t&lt;/i&gt; one - thank you, &quot;Assassin&#039;s Creed&quot; developers, for that one).
* Missing a lecture isn&#039;t a big deal, because I can always pick up the audio later.
* Having a few irritating types talking through a lecture isn&#039;t going to distract me to the point where I would have been better off not attending.

My auditory processing difficulties tend to revolve around speech processing, and a lack of prioritisation of same - or in other words, I have trouble picking out which of the sounds I&#039;m hearing I&#039;m supposed to be listening to.  So any situation with cross-talk, or multiple audio inputs, one of which is speech, is going to stress my processing capabilities.  Large crowds and loud rooms are a definite no-no, which means I&#039;ve been forced to give up on eating at Italian restaurants (Australian decorators inevitably decorate Italian restaurants in lots of hard surfaces, which means &lt;i&gt;any&lt;/i&gt; noise is going to be too much for me).</description>

		<description>Bit late but a few points to add.

* I can handle websites with background music or flash with background sounds, or they&#039;re merely an annoyance for me.

* I can work and do my job well without concern for the levels and variety of auditory sounds in my work environment.

* I do not have to be concerned with the perspectives of my coworkers and employers for being impacted by the auditory sounds in my work environment.

* I can talk with professionals and not be concerned with whether or not I understood all of the important information.

* I do not need the assistance of another individual to talk with professionals about important information should I not have access to a textual log of the conversation.

* Accents and dialects do not have a major impact on whether or not I understand a person when they&#039;re talking to me.

* Spoken words do not suddenly sound like gibberish or a collection of various different languages to me. (This one&#039;s especially hard for me, frequently I can&#039;t understand English because it doesn&#039;t even sound like English to me, it sounds like something else)</description>

		<description>For me having auditory processing disorder is a bit like the radio, a little here, a little there.  I guess you could say I have
&quot;fade outs&quot;.  That is why I was called &quot;space cadet&quot; when young.  I get too ashamed to ask people to repeat.  I lose all sense of 
meaning as words drone on.  This happens both with stress and without.  I sometimes have fade outs especially bad where my sight fades as well.  The funny thing is that smell and taste can bring me back!</description>
