I’m sitting at my desk

Looking at my phone

Two videos play

About the same thing: APD

I’m in my mom’s room

Looking over her shoulder

About a video

It’s about APD again

I’m in the car

My whole family in it

My dad tries to tell me something

I don’t hear it right away

So I say ‘Sorry, it’s my APD. Can you repeat?’

My dad yells at me

To stop using APD

As an excuse

An excuse for what?

I have no clue

Because I don’t use it as an excuse

I definitely have it

He tells my mom to stop

Giving me excuses

So I can slack off

And claim that I didn’t hear him

It’s obvious I have it

I can relate to almost everything in those videos

Auditory processing disorder

And yet you don’t say I have it
