Comprehension Problems

You may find it difficult to truly understand what someone is saying or what you are reading, despite understanding the meaning of the text or speech, and as a result may need to constantly re-read or have the information broken down or repeated, and even still may have trouble understanding.

Thinking Problems

You may have problems thinking clearly, as if there are heavy white noise artifacts over your every thought, you may say things that don't make sense to those around you.
