Sorry to say but it’s highly abnormal to require that much mental effort to play rocks paper scissors
Perhaps they’re going slightly too fast but what you’ve described sounds close to disability if you’re having that much trouble doing basic things like thinking between 3 options, seeing a basic hand shape, and making a basic hand shape
It probably is categorized as some sort of disability, one which I'm sure the great USA wouldn't even recognize.
My vision without glasses is extremely nearsighted, like 20/500 nearsighted. And I didn't get glasses until age 8, which means I didn't adapt very well to recognizing detailed anatomy such as facial expressions or hand shapes quickly.
Its not that I can't, I'm just too slow at recognizing such features in motion to be of any everyday expected practical use.
Not much you can do but try to work around it best you can 🤷♀️ your burden from sensory processing is quite high and that’s made worse by missing out on some critical developmental timings
Maybe you could pre-choose stuff and simply try to work on your timing so at least from their perspective it appears you’re playing normally
