They did two simulations of sensory sensitivity. I thought it was going to be bs, but when they did the park and mall videos, I laughed because I found it to be so true for me. Then, I realized that NTs live like they’re in a movie: they can focus only on what they intend to focus by tuning everything else out. Wowwwww.

Anyone feel similar or disagree? Have you seen video that you think are better representations?

    Yes, there are absolutely people that do that on purpose, problem is they are more or less everywhere.

    At least in my experience, neurotypicals often do this without even realizing it, and then get angry with you if you attempt to talk with them about it.

    And, yeah, if you run into someone who does this /intentionally/? Just run, basically.
