Hi my name is Kady, I'm almost 17 and I've been diagnosed with a central auditory language processing disablilty.
Ever since I was young, it was hard for me to communicate with people. It still is hard for me to this day. When people talked to me, I take it with a different perspective, or if its a little thing, sometimes I would take it almost seriously. I also think positive of other people and I don't see anything wrong with them even the minimal.
Before I was told about this disability, I was very playful and energetic. Now, I'm more quiet and shy and I'm mostly a loner. At school, I do have friends, but not the kind of friends where you talk endlessly on the phone and hang out at the malls and stuff. With me, I just have people who are nice to me.
Most of my friends are adults. I don't have any problem with that, really. But, I think it would also feel good to have friends my own age who will accept me for who I am.
I'm not like the girls at my school. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't flirt sexually. I don't curse. I've never had a boyfriend. I don't spread gossip. Most importantly, I don't even know how to be mean.
The main thing is that its hard for me to accept who I am. Sometimes I want to change how I am, but I know that it would be the wrong thing to do. When I heard about this forum, I felt a whole lot better because now I know that I am not alone at all. Now that I'm a new member here, I would be more that happy to get to know everyone. I'm glad that I'm apart of something where people are the same in many ways.
I just want to be at a place where people will accept me for who I am. I have the feeling that I am already there.
