I have Wernicke's aphasia. It's a symptom of something larger, which gets in the way of work more, but the aphasia is difficult.

It makes processing questions difficult, so with presentations I may have to suddenly end when I realise I can't understand what is being asked.

Talking for long periods is also an issue, as my brain will start issuing words that are only vaguely related to what I think I'm saying.

I've usually worked around it by having a junior dev I'm mentoring accompany me to take over when it happens.
