Homophasmatic
George had always been different. His parents first noticed something was wrong when he was only three because he had a habit of confusing words that sounded the same.
It took many different specialists before George was finally identified as a homophasmatic. They determined a portion of his brain was insufficiently developed and it prevented him from distinguishing certain sounds, much like a person who is color blind can't tell the difference between red and green.
The worst part for George was that he kept eating his soap and washing himself with his soup, so everything about him smelled awful.
