1
I've got autism, ADHD, so basically fuck knows which version you'll see One likes routine, one kicks in the door,
2
one wants peace, one's ordered three things more I walk in a room then forget why I came Stand there buffering,
3
questioning my name Go back downstairs, remember halfway, then spot something shiny and lose the whole day My keys have legs,
4
my phone disappears, I found it in places that raise genuine fears Fridge, bathroom, hoodie under the bed While using the torch
5
and the phone in my hand instead I make little lists
6
so I don't lose track Then lose the fucking list and never look back Set seven alarms,
7
ignore every sound Then wake up offended that morning came round That's my brain mate Welcome aboard, half organized, genius, half extension cord I'm five steps ahead
8
and three streets wrong But somehow I blagged it my whole life long
9
I'm early for things
10
that don't matter at all Late for the one where they
11
actually call I can plan six months in a colour-coded sheet Then forget I got washing sat wet for a week
12
I reply to your message inside of my head Full conversation,
13
job done, enough said Three days later you're thinking I'm rude I'm shocked when I see it still marked on red,
14
dude Social battery, I'm king of the room Twenty minutes later I'm planning my tomb Not in a dark way, I just want my bed in silence A brew,
15
no humans instead I'll cancel a plan
16
and feel sad I'm alone Ignore every call then keep checking my phone Want people around
17
but not actually near Just available somewhere, preferably not here I'll hyper focus hard till the world disappears Learned 12 years of knowledge and 17 beers Okay,
18
maybe not beers, but you know what I mean I'm suddenly qualified in some random machine
19
Then one tiny job that should take half an hour Becomes Mount Everest with admin power I'll stare at the email,
20
emotionally done Then clean out a drawer because apparently that's fun That's my brain, mate Welcome aboard, half-organized genius,
21
half-extension chord I can fix your life with advice on demand Then lose my bank card
22
while it's there in my hand I'm either all in
23
or completely checked out There's rarely a sensible middle about I'm calm on the outside, quite normal to view Inside there's a meeting,
24
and nobody's got a clue Food is another ridiculous game Same meal for weeks, then I hate it by name Buy loads because this is my thing now mate To get a new life,
25
I'm not even sure I'm not even sure if I'm not even sure Because this is my thing now, mate Two days later it's dying beside the use by day
26
Clothes are rules that nobody can see That sock feels wrong so it's dead to me Labels are evil, seams are a crime And
27
if my sleeve twist I mention it seventeen times I hear every noise that exists in the land The clock,
28
the fridge, someone breathing near my hand But ask what you said while I looked at your face Not a fucking clue, mate, I left mental space Don't move my stuff, I know where it is Under
29
that pile beside the other pile cheers It looks like chaos to everyone else
30
But move one receipt and I'm calling for help I've got hobbies, I start with fire in my eyes Boxes of evidence, abandoned supplies Gym kit, notebooks,
31
cables and gear New me starts Monday, about 12 times a year I research a purchase for 20
32
straight nights Compare every review till my eye will see lights Then impulse buys something completely off track
33
And spend next Tuesday wondering how to send it back That's our brain, that's my brain They fast, weird and loud Sometimes I'm hiding,
34
sometimes too proud Sometimes I'm funny because
35
if I don't laugh I'll spend four whole hours reorganising the bar For loads of us do it, diagnosis or not Walk into kitchens and forget the plot Lose track of the day,
36
miss calls, overthink Open the fridge then just stare at the drink Life's basically chaos with bills on the side Everyone's winging it, some just disguise I'm old EHD,
37
so mine's turned up to ten I'll finish this poem when I remember when Hang on, what was I doing again?

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
