Example: I have an “autistic af” bumper sticker on my car so that the cops don’t think I’m doing something shady because I don’t want to make eye contact.

Because it flickered? I love cool white light, I hate flickers.
Fluorescent light specifically is painful to me. Like it actually causes my eyes to hurt. Just removing the lamps from the fixture above my desk was sufficient to keep the pain away, even though the rest of the lights on my floor are on.
Fortunately, the lights in our office don’t make the humming noise that fluorescents are known for. Newer ballast design, I guess.
Does your job consider any accomodations for you or have always had to do thing on your own for your comfort?
I have, until very recently, had to do everything for myself. I just learned about the legal phrase “reasonable accommodation” (in the US, at least) and used that to request permanent work-from-home.
I honestly cannot imagine myself never again working in an crowded office. Maybe if one day I own one and I have control of who I see and when I see them.
