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.
When your boss is asking you a question does this happen? If not, you’re probably fine.
If it’s interfering with your ability to function – not just at a job, but school, or with friends, or whatever – that’s when it’s more of a disability.

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.
I cannot fathom how much the neurotypical world misses.
