And it's hard to pick one noise and go with it. Like focusing on a conversation with one person. While I'm trying to listen to them, I also hear the TV in the background, the people talking across the room, the dog barking outside, the whirring of the ceiling fan, the A/C turning on, and the lawn mower down the street. At the same time I also see the dog outside the window, I notice the TV screen flashing, and I'm trying to not watch the ceiling fan blades (I like to do that).
That is exactly what I am like too. Up until recently, I thought everyone was like this, so I didn't realize it was abnormal. I don't understand how people canNOT hear all these sounds around them. So, has anyone ever heard from an NT what it is like? Are they able to just block out all these other sounds--put them on low in the background--and focus on the one thing they need to focus on?
