The ADD Sensory Connection

(from an article by Mary Jane Johnson on http://www.add.org/articles/hypersen.html)

The sensory ADD connection:

In an attempt to discover whether this hypersensitivity is more common in people with ADD, I took an "unscientific pole" of 65 ADD adults who attended a recent conference. The results are listed below:

1. Sensitivity to clothing (i.e. elastic, tags) 44%

2. Sensitivity to food textures 6%

3. Allergies 39%

4. Sensitive skin 67%

5. Heat and cold sensitivity 56%

6. Sensitive hearing 50%

7. Sensitivity to being touched 22%

8. Claustrophobia 39%

9. Stomach problems 50%
