#Fluorescent Lights

[sodomy-and-the-boyscouts]

Does anyone else with autism literally not know what sensory things are bothering them unless they somehow find out or make a sustained effort to know what it is?

Like, I see all these posts that will be like “i can’t x because the light is too loud” or “my scalp hurts” or something, and that’s fine because those are the reasons that these feelings are happening, but oftentimes when I’m in a situation I have just mentally unconsciously blocked out whatever it is, like say it’s a repetitive buzzing from a light, i’ll just be PISSED and I won’t know why, and then i’ll realize i’m pissed, and then maybe I’ll step too close and hear the light buzzing and be like “OH”.

Like I feel like I’m never right away conscious of what’s bothering me, or even that something IS bothering me, I just start acting out for what feels like no reason.

Like, it genuinely took me YEARS to realize that why i’m so uncomfortable in certain places is because of how loud fluorescent lights are. (like, I know they light a space well, but I can’t be the only one that is bothered by such loud appliances, I feel like a know many neurotypical people who should also be upset over a buzzing light. why did we, as a society, decide to install vibrating lights everywhere?)

I’m starting school soon and all the lights are fluorescent. If anyone has tips for not getting overstimulated or getting headaches, that would help a lot!

Neon Nighttime Scenes Capture the Electric Energy of Taipei After Dark

The night ushers in a new rainbow of colors. This is especially true in urban metropolises, where the fluorescent lights of buildings and signs illuminate the streets in a variety of colors. Photographer Andrew Nef captures the electric beauty of the city of Taipei that can only be seen after dark in an ongoing series of photos.

Flipping Through

Sometimes when we scour through the endless tiles of titles on our favorite streaming services, we end up not watching at all. Gone were the days when people rented a movie, they are glued to their couch having invested their time walking around a video store to hunt down a movie. In the 90s I remember my movie my quest to hunt movies at our local video store, the air is usually buttered with…
