Sensitivity

Char1992

Hi all,

I would just like to ask a question to anyone with AS,

Does anyone else suffer with sensitivity to artificial light? By artificial I mean light that doesnt come from the sky or sun! Especially the yellowy lights. (Am strangely fine around white coloured artificial lighting.

It seems to make me feel anxious at times and if I get anxious around this type of light I see the light becoming brighter until the anxiety has worn off.

  • I can't stand bright fluorescent lights. They make me irritable, give me headaches and give me visual distortions like I'm tripping. I start thinking all sorts of crazy (you don't want to know), depressing thoughts under these lights but as soon as I'm away from them I feel fine. It's such a pain that so many workplaces have this type of lighting as standard as it makes it near-impossible for me to work in a lot of different jobs.
