We (aspies) tend towards binaries. We like it either very dark, or fully lit up. We either need silence, or lots of loud noise.

I know I have mental issues with "shades of grey" thinking, and it seems to be common. My personal work around is closer to newspaper print, a mix of completely black and completely white that approximates grey. It tends to annoy a lot of people, I dissect things a lot more than (apparently) necessary.
