I dislike bright sunlight, and the worst is when a cloudless day has the sun reflecting over a landscape covered with white snow. If I am indoors and immediately change my focus to a wide open view of such a landscape (like a bay window or walking outdoors) then it's so bad that I feel physical pain in my eyeballs.

Question: Could that be aspie light sensitivity, or is this so bright that it's normal even for NTs to experience pain in the same circumstance?

I don't know, but Eskimos and Aleuts wear special glasses to prevent sun blindness. When I lived in Alaska, sometimes a wrong glance at reflected sunlight would pierce my eyeballs with pain that lasted a day or two.

I find that type of weather to be hard on my eyes, as well.

I can't stand it when it's sunny and the ground is covered with snow. I feel like I'm getting blind.
