what type of disability is apd? can apd be considered a hearing disorder?

hi , I've been having "trouble hearing" since i was at least 3 years old and after consulting tons of "specialists" i think i finally found what had been happening to me what i manifested as "trouble hearing" as a child is in fact trouble understanding what i hear when people talk. I am currently being evaluated for APD but I'm 99% sure i have it, even my new specialist thinks so too, it has been a relief to finally confirm that i was not "making things up" as other doctors said.

Today i was researching what can legally qualify as a disability in my country and i came up with a question, what type of disability is APD? it doesn't match the criteria for a hearing disability but it also doesn't quite fit in any of the neurodevelopmental types of disabilities definitions as far as I've seen.

why do i keep getting so many pili torti hairs lately?

i know it seems like a dumb thing to ask but since it was my persistent hair loss despite being a female and of young age what made my doctor finally realize I'm severely anemic and folic acid deficient. although i noticed it i tried not to panic and dismissed the hair loss as something normal because i didn't want to accept that i was balding as a female teen i just couldn't ignore it anymore when my hairdressers or even family members started to point it out over the years and the last time i cut my hair i was told the same thing again which made me finally ask my doctor.

​

Even though I don't think it's something preocupating i think it would still be interesting to ask just to rule out any possible problem to not delay it just like i did with my hair loss.

​

when i told my doctor about my hair loss i also added the detail that recently my best friend made me discover i had pili multigemini (which i have for hereditary reasons since i noticed my father also has it) and she had no idea what that was so this is why I'm asking first here instead of her because she's a general doctor and not specialized in dermatology and she'll probably won't know what pili torti is if i ever ask her.

​

I don't know if this can help but I am currently taking medication for my iron and folic acid deficiency, allergies and probiotics since i have a chronic digestive syndrome, a corticosteroids cream for a persistent dyshidrosis that keeps appearing on my hands for more than ten years and a dermatological shampoo i forgot the name of, i have atopic dermatitis and my dad does have some degree of alopecia.

​

i will add two pictures down below of my normal hair versus my pili torti.

​

thanks for your time and your responses hopefully it's nothing serious like i said earlier i just want to rule out any possibility

trying to find out if I am polyamorous

now that it's pride month I've finally gotten courage to ask this publicly.

I'm currently single but I've previously had three boyfriends before and always ended up feeling like relationships were suffocating for me but i don't know if i felt this way because my relationships were rather toxic or if it's because monogamous dating isn't the thing for me.

Before any of my relationships I did fantasized with the idea of a polyamorous relationship but kinda just forgot about it, but now that I'm single again i do think about this from time to time.

I've discussed this topic with other queer friends and allies but no one seems to help much and I barely know any polyamorous people.

Please let me know what you think in the comments. I am not seeking to date just know if i am polyamorous or not.
