That sounds like it could point to some form of undiagnosed (possibly mild) sensory processing issues—which are exactly the kind of neurodiversity they are likely referring to.
That could be; as I said in another comment I don't self-diagnose stuff but I could imagine it being the case. Regarding the OP topic, I definitely prefer not to be around, see, or hear other humans unless they're loved ones, so I'll take whatever helps me pretend nobody's around me.
