Flashing lights and autism

Hi, I have a question regarding flashing lights. I know some people with sensory issues have light sensitivity (I do too) but I've realised that I only have a problem with bright or unnaturally colored light but mostly when it's constant. As for flashing lights (like disco lights) - they have this weird hypnotising effect on me and one of my friends (she's also diagnosed with autism). Idk if it's part of stimming bc I don't seek it but I don't get uncomfortable or nausees from it - both of us get high (?) from it. I wonder if it's just two of us or is it common (or does it have any scientific explanation). I know that it happens just to my neurodivergent friends (we noticed it during a play and out of 40 people only we had this effect from it). I tried to do some research myself but google only showed me articles about why bright light is making neurodivergent people feel unwell. Also, the flashing light doesn't need to be bright to have this effect on me**___**
