I went to a busy flea market this morning. This is how my neurodivergent brain (#AuDHD) works.
It seems to me that neurotypical brains can filter out/edit/moderate incoming stimuli or data more easily than #neurodivergent ones. For me, it's particularly noticeable with sound. So, I created a comparison to show you what I mean.

@Richard_Littler @actuallyautistic Even though I consider myself a highly functional AD(H)D person, this does feel like how I go through life. Though sometime there is the hyperfocus when I concentrate too much on the “Pay attention to me" bit and forget everything else.
