Explanation of delayed audio processing in ADHD (twitter.com)

I saw this post on x-twitter that explains this phenomenon which I really relate to:

ADHD and other auditory processing challenged brains will have a delayed ability to process auditory inputs.

But the brain has a pretty nifty feature that stores up to 2 seconds of auditory information... it's called the "phonological loop"

So, when a brain that struggles to process auditory info takes that info in... even though there's a delay in processing what that info means... it stays accessible for a short time to be processed when the brain is ready.

Cool, no?

So, is this a good sign for adhd? Better than others? I have quite a few more issues but I'm never sure because it's always just called normal which makes me very confused. I am also a bit scared of telling my parents about it they didn't really believed it and lightheartedly made fun of me(nothing major)
