I don't think it depends on ASD diagnosis, I think it depends on the individual.

Even people without any kind of ASD can have serious sensory issues.

the individual people with the most severe sensory issues, is the answer.

Like others have said, it depends on the individual. I have Aspergers and my sensory issues are more severe than some people I've met with PDDNOS, but my sensory issues have also been less severe than other people I've met with PDDNOS.

Well I find light and noise quite heinous but I know others find smell and touch that level of hideousness whilst I can handle those two reasonably well, it is down to the individual.

Hello,

Formally speaking I don't think any condition above has sensory processing differences as part of the diagnostic criteria.

I think we can be sure is a common issue for all of the above groups (and other groups too) but it will vary based on the individual.

Often it's diagnoses separately as sensory processing disorder.
