Today's field notes on neurotypicals:

Someone with auditory processing disorder is watching something they've been looking forward to all week! Due to a combination of circumstances, the only place they can sit is on the opposite side of the room from the TV, a seat which is also mere inches away from the kitchen sink.

This is, apparently, the ideal time for the neurotypical person to start the laundry (in an old, loud machine) before washing dishes (loudly) while carrying on a (loud) conversation.

Interesting.
