I saw this post on x-twitter that explains this phenomenon which I really relate to:
>ADHD and other auditory processing challenged brains will have a delayed ability to process auditory inputs.
>
>But the brain has a pretty nifty feature that stores up to 2 seconds of auditory information... it's called the "phonological loop"
>
>So, when a brain that struggles to process auditory info takes that info in... even though there's a delay in processing *what that info means*... it stays accessible for a short time to be processed when the brain is ready.
>
>Cool, no?
