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 my low gain hearing aids for have been a metaphorical godsend for this. I get way less overloaded/over stimulated since I got them.

Blue light blocking glasses work similarly for me in those awful fluorescent lighting scenarios, though somewhat less effectively, but much cheaper
