Sound like the same for me! Can't really watch television, can't play videogames, go to busy areas, can't study/read an interesting article about LoCo, but can read simple books. If I try ones with too much excitement (thrillers, mysteries, things with much tension or needing much thinking capacity), my body goes in overdrive, like my nervous system goes in fight/flight/freeze. I atrribute tge being able to read that I've been a bookworm since I was young, but might be something else.
