So light sensitivity and Autism come hand-in-hand and I am discussing all that here right now.
So Autism comes comotbidly diagnosed with sensory processing disorder. Currently there is no independent diagnosis of sensory processing disorder a person has to be on the autism spectrum to also have sensory processing disorder.
Sensory processing disorder can interfere with the way the brain communicates its senses like lights sound smells and touch.
This confusion can cause some interesting outcomes including hyper or hypo sensitive issues with these senses.
being an autistic person myself I find that certain lights are triggering and can cause anxiety and stress when I’m around those lights.
You see some lights flicker but the typical brain of a neurotypical person cannot see this flicker and a person with an autism spectrum disorder can see the flicker and this flicker annoys them.
I outline a few hacks and tips I have that are use on a daily basis to overcome this triggering from certain light sensitivity for autism and light sensitivity.
