Receptive Language Sequencing Disorder

© Donna Williams

I was asked if I had a word for the tumbling effect I have where the words from different sentences end up jumbled into the wrong order and contribute to difficulty understanding. I also have actual trouble getting meaning from individual words, which is about Central Auditory Processing Disorder, but there is no word as far as I know for this tumbling effect.

It'd be nice if I knew a word, but there isn't one... people didn't know about Central Auditory Processing Disorder in Auties either until recently... but that's about meaning, not the tumbling effect... I think the tumbling is a lack of sequencing function in the brain combined with different rates of processing for different words in delayed receptive processing... hence tumbling effect... but as its so parallel with dyslexia I use that word as people can envision the tumbling (even though this is not what dyslexia is!). Perhaps a new term like Receptive Language Sequencing Disorder would work... then I'd say I have both CAPD and RLSD.
