I like sunlight in certain contexts, not in others. It really depends on my mood. My sensory issues are predominantly linked with sound, not visual stuff.
Me too.

Unrelated to AS, but strange nonetheless, I do experience an uncontrollable physical reaction to sunlight: I sneeze when quickly exposed to it... like walking outside on a sunny afternoon after being inside for awhile. I always thought that everyone did this, until I found out that, no; it is in fact caused by a genetic trait that affects about one-fourth of all people.
Yup, I have that, too, and so does my son. And I always thought that everyone did this, too.
When you can do something or react to something in a particular way, you assume everybody else is the same way until you're proven wrong, then you find it hard to believe. When my parents told me that most people can't name musical notes out of context (i.e. absolute pitch), I thought they were joking.
