remember that video games' UI and UX design are not creations of physics nor biology. they were intentionally built by just a few ppl (in the context of Human history). the game designers haven't done brain scans & interviews with every gamer who ever lived. so their design wouldn't reflect anything specific about "normal" brains.
and each player's info processing is uniquely developed from their brain structure and their experiences. even neurotypicals are widely varying in their communication and brain processing style.
tl;dr - idiosyncrasy in gaming is not enough info to attribute to ND symptoms/characteristics. combine the data with more from all areas of life.
