Hey now there’s nothing weird about being completely unable to focus under fluorescent lights.
For me it can be the opposite, I often focus better with artificial light than with sunlight.
me and a friend were talking recently about how we function better at night and summer takes that away. so, a few days ago I covered my window with a blanket which blacked out the window, and use only my lava lamp for light. it has been the most productive, multitasking filled era for me so far.
Just live underground
I learned recently that not everyone can see the fluorescent flicker. It’s unnerving and feels a bit like being buzzed on caffeine. It’s not so bad in the offices with indirect lighting. Also, cheap LED lights can flicker. I clung to my incandescent lights until they all burnt out.
Wait they can’t? Although now that I think about it, there’s certain cheap LED lights that I can see the flicker and my girlfriend cant
Ceiling Lights, MY ONLY WEAKNESS!!
Dunce here, I don’t get the joke. Can somebody explain? Are ceiling lights something ND people don’t like?
Not universally but yeah. Ceiling lights can be really bad for overstimulation, so a lot of ND people will prefer to never turn an overhead light on in favour of using lamps/natural light.
Thanks!
I really should see a psychotherapist, I think.
IT BURNS!! IT BURRNNNSSS!!!
Shouldn’t that be “photodivergent”?
Cruel and unusual punishment
Is this more of an ADHD thing, or an ASD thing?
I don’t like bright overhead lights, either. I was diagnosed ADHD at the tender age of 56.
Most people don’t, I think. Our office got LEDs to replace our fluorescent bulbs and we leave the lights entirely off since then. Or maybe we’re all secretly on the spectrum lol.
My office used to do this, until upper management caught wind and threw an absolute fit over it. Then they paid the building manager to come in and remove the lightswitches so we couldn’t turn the lights off ever again, there’s literally an alarm that goes off if the circuit is broken.
Yay for having a mild headache every single day!
What a flock of raging assholes. How did they justify forcing working conditions like that on you that you clearly did not want? Did they offer any excuse for doing that?
Which ceiling light? White one or yellow one? I’ve got both.
Being able to switch the color from an app is a game changer
Nah you good i didn’t think so, I’m just sharing my personal thoughts on the matter
When did Nero divergent become a thing? Last couple months it’s everywhere. Never even heard of it before then…
I mean I’ve been hearing it since like 2018, it’s just an easier way to say you have some disorder or another without really getting specific.
Also humans just love classifying themselves so that probably has a bit to do with it
