This describes me. I process things slower than most. It is obvious when I am in a conversation. I think about things carefully so it appears as if I am slow, but I am not (My intelligence is above average). Most people don't have the patience or they misunderstand me.
My psychiatrist suspects I have a few learning disabilities. She mentioned auditory processing disorder and a possible language comprehension problem. I have been diagnosed with ASD.
Strange but I am in university, where I am excelling. I think it has to do with independent learning. My listening is poor in lectures, but I make up for it through all the reading I do, my superb memory and unique problem solving abilities.
Perhaps you can also look into getting tested for learning disabilities.
I never had a lack of oxygen at birth.
