In my old gym there was a guy who liked to turn the lights off and then take showers in the mens locker room.
Neurodivergent or not, that's really weird.

Why weren't the lights already off?
In a public bathroom? Safety, don’t need people bumping into stuff, slipping and falling, not seeing what they could grab to break the fall etc

Furthermore, other people turning OFF a light that's in another room because that's the precise amount of light I want where I'm at. Absolutely infuriating.
Wouldn’t them being in the dark bolster the argument that they are bats?
And if they were lost bats, what would turning the lights on be meant to do?
I should get that diagnosis. 😐
I never denied I’m a bat, I’m simply not lost!

I find myself wearing my sunnies indoors more often than not. On days I forget and grab my regular glasses, switching over to the tinted lenses is literal full body relief as the light input is reduced.
i use light mode everywhere. i change color schemes to light, and create my own for applications that don't provide them.
i don't know why.
It takes all types. No shame in having your own preferences ¯\(ツ)/¯
