Sensory Symptoms That Apply to Diagnosis

Post Reply New Topic

Say a person is hyper-sensitive rather than hypo-sensitive. I know that it is a diagnosable symptom if they are in physical pain from the sensitivity, or it causes migraines or meltdowns. But what if the hyper-sensitivity doesn't have a noticeable physical effect? Like what if they have misophonia, and certain sounds just put them in a rage. Would that count towards diagnosis?

Yes.
Most sensory issues resulting from hypersensitivity do not have physical symptoms.

Misophomia doesn't necessarily come from hypersensitive hearing, but many other issues do, like distress at the noise emitted by electronics equipment or light fixtures. Migraines are not primarily a physical response, although there may be some physical responses associated with them.

Yes, misophonia is relevant. That was exactly my main every-day problem when I went to an ASD specialist psychologist and (among other things) got a diagnosis of ASD.

Sensory sensitivity can be sensitivity to the intensity of stimulation (e.g. loudness of sound, brightness of light) OR it can be sensitivity to the texture or type of sensation (e.g. particular types of sound textures, or particular visual effects, or particular type of tastes or smells). And people with misophonia often have other sensory issues (especially irritation at the sight of repetitive movements), as well as touch or taste or smell sensitivities.

Not sure if it helps but I created a thread possibly related to this a while back with a few pages of discussion: Link

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "no physical symptoms". I would think that being thrown into a rage certainly qualified as a physical symptom.

I meant something that is a concrete physical sensation in one or more specific part(s) of the body vs. something that is mainly emotional or psychological.
