Book overview
The words people say to you take a longer trip than you'd think!
Every step of the way-from their brain to their tongue, from their tongue to your ears, from your ears to your brain-things can get scrambled or misunderstood. And the different ways our brains are built can make it harder to understand what people are saying, even after the words have come all that way.
My name's Emma, and I have Central Auditory Processing Disorder. (I'll explain what those words mean inside this book!) Having CAPD means that even when I can hear somebody, it can be hard for me to sort out the words in my head to figure out what they mean. Sometimes, the sounds end up in the wrong order! That can be funny, but really confusing, too.
Thankfully, there are things we can do to help when words are getting mixed up between my brain and your brain. Come join me inside this book to learn about how we understand each other and how we misunderstand each other (And take a look at some funny mix-ups along the way)!
