Photic sneeze reflex (sneezing when exposed to bright light), do you have it?
I have always sneezed when I go from a dark room to any glare or bright sunlight. Apparently this is a genetic trait where your brain is meant to trigger the squint reflex but instead it triggers you to sneeze. Both my parents have it and I also think both my parents are undiagnosed neurodivergents. Same with my siblings. I have wondered if this might be more common in people who are neurodivergent as I think genetics play a role in that too. Especially since a lot of us have light sensitivity. How many of you do or don't have this? This is just curiousity :)
