By the time I've played a video game for the 10th time I know every miniscule detail of the lore. I've ascended beyond the game. I am the game

I do not understand this meme.
I recently found this video which put an issue I have in better words than I could have ever put them in myself. I shared it with someone to explain how I experience certain things and they proceeded to make this funny adaptation of the ADHD version posted recently. Hope this gives the context/explanation you needed.
Thank you for that. Cannot relate at all tho. I do process a lot but not to the level she did.
Exactly
I hate that this is accurate, except maybe the "Video Game For The Tenth Time". I've figured it out by then.
Definitely varies from case to cae because I usually don't have over processing problems when I'm in a group of people, but when I'm in my head and not focusing on anything, I'll go on and on processing a lot and constantly swap what's going on in my head at what can feel like a topic every few seconds (even if it means swapping to a past topic from a few seconds ago).
What is paracetamol? Google isn't helping lol
Acetaminophen
Ah thanks! Doesn't help me understand the picture next to it lol
I understood the terminology but after googling still don't get the meme. The only results I can find are about how paracetamol during pregnancy may increase likelihood of autism - nothing about how it affects autistic people differently than neurotypicals. Hopefully OP can clarify, because I'd love to learn more.
For me, paracetamol/tylenol/acetaminophen helps me significantly when I feel overwhelmed and went over my limit. It suppresses a lot of stuff related to sensitivity and can also help me last longer if there's an important event I need to be at for some reason or another.
Other people I've talked to just say paracetamol make them tired, hence they sell them in combination with caffeïne I'm guessing.
The caffeine is usually added to make it faster acting, particularly for migraines. I haven't actually heard of it making anyone sleepy before, that's interesting.
Huh thanks for clarifying! I only take it for migraines, and have never noticed a change (but maybe thats because im already dulled out). I'm envious!
Love the meme though, and how everyone is using the woman thinking picture while dissecting this meme 🤣
A painkiller
Normal is subjective.
Try and see it as "average neurotypical" in this case.
No true average neurotypical
Not true really, there are general rules to identify a neurotypical. Same as the way there are general rules you can follow to identify a neurodivergent. Sure not every neurotypical meets every aspect of being neurotypical perfectly but neither do neurodivergents meet every aspect of being neurodivergent.
I don't relate to this except playing a game for the first time because that's me figuring out the mechanics
