There is a correlation between hypersensitivity and ADHD. By understanding this we can help children and adults function when they experience sensory overload at school and at work. Teachers need to understand how to best support hypersensitivity in the classroom. A number of children and adults suffer from hypersensitivity and feel very misunderstood.

"Toughen up!" "Don't be so sensitive." "I can't believe that bothers you!" If you are highly sensitive to physical and/or emotional stimuli, you may have hypersensitivity — a condition common among adults with ADHD.
