I have something called astigmatism in both eyes and get the star like spikes when I move my eyes and the light halo effect, especially at night. I don't see rainbows and it's not with all types of light but it does look like the picture you've drawn. It might be worth going to see an optician.

However, you could also have light sensitivity, or both astigmatism and light sensitivity. The two don't have to be mutually exclusive. It's very common to have sensory sensitivities when on the autism spectrum. People tend to report intense glare, lights flickering, and pain and visual discomfort when looking at lights.
