Maybe she's singing along to Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Yes they can. It's their job. But sharing that sentiment with them can be a good first step. And they should certainly be able to handle that.

Medication helps me a) to remember stuff for the minute or so that it takes sometimes to get around to it and b) to deal with interruptions better in that I can return to the previous task more easily.

I'm still very susceptible to sensory overload. But I find that clearly communicating how I'm doing with the people around me and excusing myself when I'm overloaded (or tired or whatever) works quite well for me.

Case in point, I was just playing a multiplayer online game with people and realized that I'm just too tired to properly process what's going on anymore. So I told everyone I'm too tired to keep going, wished them a good night and told them I'd be happy to play with them again tomorrow. Younger me would have pushed on, resulting in drama and loss of self-control.

All that said, you might be suffering from something else entirely, so getting diagnosed is still the best course of action, IMHO.

If it were music it would be forta, as in the Italian pronunciation of pianoforte. Which would be correct, according to M-W.

I will start using this pronunciation immediately. I always assumed it is derived from the French fortΓ©.

So thanks for pointing this out!

Cackling and rubbing their hands together as they prepare to defend against foreign aggression.
