I've never gotten an official diagnosis, but it's been speculated that I'm an Aspie & I think I must be, for a variety of reasons.
Something that comes up again & again in my life is that I seem to have ultra-sensitive vision & hearing compared to many others. This has led to numerous intense conflicts. Regarding the vision issue, though, I think something else is involved. I've come to the conclusion that fluorescent lights (especially prolonged exposure to them) is weakening many people's eyesight to the point where they can see virtually nothing without this kind of lighting, which has been causing HUGE problems in my life. For me, there seems to be a natural aspect to it as well, though. Bright sunlight, which some people evidently consider "beautiful", I find terribly irritating. I've unfortunately had some horrible (& quite lengthy) experiences involving both lots of (for me) virtually blinding sunshine (being stuck in a tropical area for years) & also fluorescent lights (being stuck in death-ca--I mean, health-care facilities).
I don't so much mind gray, overcast days, but I find it difficult to even go out in the daytime if I haven't slept well (or at least a little bit). I also have to cover up any & all windows, or I can't sleep at all.
Oddly, in the less than a decade that I've had the chance to use computers, I've never had a problem with the screens, which seem to cause big problems for some people (though I tend to want to keep the screen dim around low lighting, which only makes sense, after all) & I usually find TV screens & movie screens comforting. Also, assuming I'm up & around & awake, I actually rather like neon lights, though maybe this, too, will not be the case at some point.
Assuming also that I am indeed an Aspie, are there any others who can relate to any of this?
