Sensory issues - can you be over and under sensitive?

[Frasersmum123]

Frasers Sppech therapist gave us a worksheet from the 'More than words' course regarding sensory preferences and it lists lots of different activities which indicates a child in over senitive and some which mean he ins under sensitive for all the sensetive.

But DS ticks boxes in all areas, so im confused.

For example Sound, he has ticked 4/5 of the boxes in under sensitive and 3/5 in over sensitive iyswim.

Yes - apparently it's very common - and very confusing ! I'm glad you're on Hanen !

i would say so ds1 is over sensitive to noises and textures but under when it comes to pain and cold

DS2 gets so distressed with some noises and some noises it is like he can't hear them, it is really weird.

Yes, both of mine have a mixture of under sensitive and over sensitive.
