I don’t have an autism diagnosis but I really hate bright lights. They just grate at me. I have blackout curtains all over my apartment and only turn the lights on when I really need to see something.
The darkness doesn’t make me sad or feel depressed or anything. It feels comfortable like a warm blanket.
Neurodivergence can manifest partly in the form of sensory sensitivity, which can include light sensitivity.
