I recommend people pay very close attention to their workspaces and note anything that could contribute to any health conditions.

If companies demand we be in-office, they should be ready to handle the workman’s comp claims caused by the environment.

Any ideas of violations?

I’m a very energy sensitive person and my office forces me in the aisle seat of a hundred+ floor of workers and managers.

I feel incredibly overwhelmed, my emotions shut down and it’s incredibly challenging to focus and get work done. Headphones aren’t a replacement to a real quiet natural noise environment like my trigger-free home.

Do I have a disability or health condition I should get expert opinion and record of?

When companies switch to LEDs they seldom make sure they met Lumen requirements. Might be a start:

I mean, you reasonably could be autistic. Talk to a provider. One symptom/anxiety isn't sufficient to diagnose, obviously. We're not doctors, but your experience doesn't sound typical.
