NT & ASD people both! Tell me about your sneezing!

The sun can trigger migraines and I get solar dermatitis on my elbows, but doesn't seem to trigger sneezing.
I've never found an obvious trigger for sneezing, but I note my sneezing multiplied after developing tardive dystonia from ceasing amitriptyline.
I always sneeze twice, usually thrice in a row, with a gap of at least 5 minutes before it can be retriggered.

I have the photic sneeze reflex. So does my sister and my dad but they're not autistic.

I don't usually sneeze as classically as the guy in the video did but I'll sneeze while driving (which can be scary to me) and the skylights in my house are good fuel for a sneeze.

I generally sneeze once or twice and that's it. But once when I got on the train to go to the city, I sneezed 11 times. That was my record. Something really irritated my nose.

I don't sneeze in the sun. But I sneeze a lot because I get allergic a lot. It seems to be that certain foods disagree with me and then I become very sensitive to dust, pollen, mould spores etc.

When I sneeze I like to shout loudly as part of the sneeze. "Holy s**t!" and "Jesus!" are my favourites.

Sometimes I sneeze so much I get what I call multiple sneezegasms where I've not finished the last sneeze before the next one starts. I can get 7 or 8 in a row. It's quite spectacular.

I sneeze a lot sometimes due to chronic allergy & sinus problems. I sometimes sneeze when going out in the sun but it's due to grass & pollen allergies flaring up instead of the sun itself. Allergy alerts tend to be higher on sunnier days. I'm on a few meds that don't help enough & am about ready to try something else that my doc refuses to prescribe.
