Wow. I can imagine how fun-full that party was. I’m sure it is one of the best parties you’ve attended. It is great that you’ve share your experience here.

I think playing games is one of the best times to work on your self-advocating skills, especially if you’re with close friends or family. The goal of playing a game is for everyone to have fun, but hearing can be a big requirement for that, so if you’re missing info you need to speak up and make sure people know that. Hopefully they’ll help you by repeating, writing things down, having someone close to you repeat what was said, or brainstorming other ways to make sure you get all the info needed. Or they may want to try playing another game that’s less sound-intensive. You’ll have to remind them over and over again as each person has a turn to speak, but that’s what self-advocating is all about. It’s good practice and it’ll help them remember to help you out more in the future too.

I admire your bravery. My husband’s parents LOVE to play games. Most family get-togethers involve game play of some sort with people shouting over each other. They’re a big, fun family and I miss out on so much.

Well the dinner parties you go to sure sound fun I played Apples to Apples once, and fount out it is not my thing! It’s fun, I’m just terrible at it. My friends and I absolutely love the game Taboo, which can get pretty noisy, and since it’s timed there’s a fair amount of pressure to hear things the first time. I guess it’d be good for some serious auditory rehab!
