My ADHD autist girlfriend does this all the time. She just needs a bit of extra time to process. I don’t mind it and I usually don’t need to repeat what I said. You get used to it.
Not gonna lie in my case it’s a loading problem cause I hear and my hearing si fine but it comes up jumbled and then after 1 to 3 seconds the brain process what I heard.
Actually me. I do this all the time and it drives my friends, family, and girlfriend nuts.
I think my brain processes what is said after it is finished processing what I am currently thinking about and what I am really doing is multitasking in thoughts before rounding my way to the next one.
Sometimes it takes my brain a moment to realize that what you’ve said to me is actually Words and to assign a Meaning to those words, and that you haven’t just done the human equivalent of when the Roomba drives back onto the charger.
This is why I always end up re-reading work emails over and over again before sending, and also use the outlook delay-sending to allow for “unsending” lol
