I actually don't know if compartmentalization is a neurotypicals trait. If anything, given my experience being neurodivergent (ADHD), and growing up with other neurodivergent people (brother with autism, sister with ADHD), I would believe that in fact compartmentalization is a neurodivergent trait. But I will say that in this case I'm not sure anyone who's compartmentalizing the world being on fire is normal. It takes a lot of mental fortitude or apathy to see the entire landscape ablaze and just be like "meh, I gotta go to work, I don't have time for that..".
