I find that being home with anyone else in he house, even if they aren't interacting with me in any way, there's still a little part of my brain switched on to deal with it if they do say something. It's completely different when I know there's no way anyone can talk to me. I can focus so much better on whatever else I'm doing.

- glandium 10y agoI have the opposite problem. I can totally switch off the part dealing with someone speaking to me, but then have to make them repeat when they do speak to me, because I didn't listen to it. (Interestingly, in many cases, my mind catches up and decodes what was said the first time before they finish saying it again)
