Opposite sensory

Post Reply New Topic

I know a lot of people are hypersensative to a lot of things. I was wondering can aspies also be more desensative to other things. Like hypersensative in some senses and desensative in others?

For me, I have a higher tolerance to cold then most, I can withstand flourescent lights better then most, and I have a weak sense of smell.

On the otherhand, I have hypersensative hearing, less tolerant of heat, and very mild touch sensory issues

Yes, it's referred to as hyposensitivity. Hypersensitivity is more common, though both hypo- and hypersensitivities can occur within the same person.
