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?

A lot of "ADHD" and "Autism" things are actually normal human behaviors but amplified.

My partner is "neurotypical" (inasmuch as that's actually real) and has some "oh that's autism/ADHD" behaviors that are similar to my ADHD but nowhere near as severe.

Humans are a weird bunch. Most of us are normal. Some of us have exaggerated behaviors compared to baseline, but that doesn't preclude baseline from exhibiting similar behaviors.
