4. Sensitivity or Intolerance to Some Textures
The feeling of sensory overload in people who have sensory processing disorder often isn’t limited just to sounds, but will also extend through to their other senses at the same time. People who have sensory processing disorder will often display an extreme sensitivity or intolerance to some textures too, and develop a seeming obsession with certain other textures that they find more tolerable.
This can be related to obsessive, inappropriate touching of textures that they find interesting or tolerable, and a total overreaction when confronted with textures that they find unpleasant. Which textures are tolerated and which ones aren’t is still in the process of being studied further, and it’s currently believed that pleasant and unpleasant textures will be different for every case, although there are many which are considered common in sensory processing disorder cases.
Sometimes a sensitivity to temperature and pain will be some of the symptoms that are associated with this.
