No. It was the deepest neurosis a man can experience. If you realize that life exists without intrinsic meaning or cause you begin to think about a lot of things. The fucked up thing is, every time you might think about why for example your family should matter to you you might come to a positive conclusion but that is overshadowed by "it doesn't matter anyway"
Considering the arbitrary nature of life itself it is a miracle you can focus on anything ever without being overwhelmd by the experience you are having.

doesn't explain away his lack of empathy or even his lack of care. I understand that he's supposed to be cold like the universe is in absurdism and someone embodying that characteristic is absurd but there is obviously real world examples of meursault

Yes he is
He showed no sorrow at the funeral, no sympathy for the dog or the girl that iceberg slim beat up, no love for his girlfriend, no remorse for murder. the only emotion he actually felt was anger, one of the few emotions a sociopath feels

Obviously there is something wrong with meursault, and the closest thing to his disconnect with life is sociopathy.

The mental state you described above is similar to depersonalization. Depersonalization is a coping mechanism that is a response to high levels of anxiety and is a symptom to many disorders that involve high levels of anxiety.
If I had to diagnose Meursault at all costs I'd say he is schizoid but I don't claim to be an expert at this either.
Please, try to be aware of the things you don't know.

I suppose they might be many things and less cognitively able could be one of them but if it is not then they are simply shallowminded and thus have to - as you pointed out - numb themselves from the intensity of existence
