The thread's OP suggests that this is the default, not abnormal? I mean, this is what it sounds like in my head pretty much 24/7 (also songs are pretty much always playing in the background) and I've never really thought of myself as anything other than neurotypical.

Anyone who doesn't live in their head doesn't get it.

“Lives in their heads” perfectly describes me. There are times a tornado could be happening but inside I’m somewhere else.

Or the opposite, a neighbour starts mowing their effing lawn and I can’t focus at all.
