I could NOT have stated any of this any better myself, ever, ever, ever. Even the strategies and the desires states are exactly what I do and wish others would do. One of the last bits, about how all the abilities to compensate deteriorate during illness or being tired, is something I've been increasingly aware of. It's like night and day at times... I have a great day at work, only to wake up the next day with a cold or without enough sleep, or with too much stress... and meetings or just generally having to deal with people is like telling me I need to go shove my foot into a furnace. I cringe upon looking forward to it and feel my whole being sag inside. Then I struggle to understand half of what's going on, and to make it worse, the one thing I wish people would do - give me an agenda well ahead of time - is not done, so I have to guess at what the subject is about.
So... Unfortunately, not everyone listens... funny, how someone who CAN listen, doesn't bother, and someone who has trouble understanding speech, tries to listen so damned hard, only to be scolded in some way. And no, this has not recently happened, but it does happen regularly. It's one of the fun things about being involved in projects. Yay, whoo hoo...
