Anonymous asked: Hello, it's me, the girl with all these parts. Yes, the 4th part is missing. I thought I sent you an ask but I didn't. I'm so sorry :( Do you have times where you just cannot listen to what ppl say? I must say I have big problems to understand what ppl are saying, especially at school & I'm always soo distracted by everything which surround me. It is impossible to me to really concentrate on what ppl are telling me. I find it hard to listen. I dunno why... it upsets me so much sometimes...

It’s fine! It happen! Haha. All the time. I just space out while people talking and have to make them repeat themselves. If you have any form of the spectrum, it is very likely you have ADD/ADHD, which would explain the spacing out and EVERYTHING you are describing. Getting on medicine for it would make your attention, concentration, even intelligence, and you life in general do a complete 360. ADD/ADHD is one of the few things that they have really good medicine for, and I strongly recommend it as I am on it. Some good ones to ask for would be Adderall or Ritalin, believe me you do not want to be on a bullshit one, they don’t work — speaking from person experience, get a strong, name brand one. Doing that will solve all those problems above. Let me know how it goes :) 

*correction* It could also be a sensory processing disorder. I was tested for that when tested for ADD/ADHD, and I’ve learned that not all places do. So when you get tested, get tested or both.
