i know and understand i need to see a doctor but i will not see another doctor for a long time at this point but somewere along the line i am going to. and im hopeing to ask someone myself soon (my doctor) and try my best to exsplane why i can not understand them and hope they can tell me this is what is wrong we can fix it or help it clam down. but that has not happend yet. so i am hopeing that someone here could say what they think may be wrong. and why this is thank you so much if you do. any advice kind of in a strange way helps me clam down and make me think if someone has a clue somethings wrong also my doctors will find it.

Sounds like maybe a focus/ attention issue? Do you "get it" when the information is short and to the point?

My son also AS, has some issues w. concentration at times. In those times I am better off to write, in bullet points, a list for him. Sometimes he can "understand" that much easier than verbal instructions. Since you are experiencing confusion with both written and spoken communication- I don't have much experience w. that and can't help but to suggest you maybe having focus/ attention issues?

Try and find situations when you DO understand, and Don't and contrast and compare the two? Perhpas that will help you find the trigger to lack of understanding be it internal or external?

You may also have a problem with receptive language skills which is a common trait among people with ASD. I hate to say this because it sounds like you don't really want to see more doctors but I believe that a good therapist might be able to help you.

I like the idea of starting by taking note of what communication situations DO work for you. That will give you a point of comparison to figure out why other situations don't.

But, overall, remember that ASD's are a communication difference that does not, unfortunately, resolve just because you talking to someone else who has an ASD. Sometimes that just means there are two barriers (one with each person) instead of just one (the one from your own ASD).

Don't give up. There are times just on this board that I've seen you do a great job, so we know the ability exists. Just have to figure out how to maximize it, bring it out in more situations.
