Occasionally, I will sneeze for no apparent reason if I am out in bright sunlight. When this happens, I will also get feeling similar to the feeling that most people get when hearing fingernails scraping a chalkboard. --This doesn't happen often.

I always sneeze when I pluck my eyebrows! The sun on its own doesn't make me sneeze but I have sneezey allergies and the sun on top of that does make it worse.

Wow! Loads of response - thanks! Keep 'em coming (if you want to of course)! That's really interesting - I didn't realise it was 17%-25%; in "Focus" - the science magazine it said it was 1%-10% I wonder if there is an official statistic? I also have sneezy allergies like hay fever, allergies to hair and dust and certain scents, but I don't sneeze when things touch my face or when I have mints and stuff - I never knew about that! I don't know if it's an aspie thing, don't know if it's ever been studied, but I think it's unusual wiring of some sort so I thought since Aspies are unusually wired they might have a higher incidence of it - what do yous think?
