Abstract
Many autistic and otherwise neurodivergent people experience heightened sensory sensitivity, including photophobia – increased sensitivity to light. Recent legislative changes, including the banning of fluorescent bulb sales, and the national and organisational zerocarbon initiatives have instigated significant changes to lighting across the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS) estates. The installation of LED lighting equipment has caused additional sensory problems for some neurodivergent people when they use hospital facilities. This chapter describes a series of collaborative and co-design projects to develop guidance about sensory-friendly LED lighting to meet the needs of people with autism and other neurodivergent conditions.
