I told my doc how I've been researching all I can and she gave me the name of an expert on ADHD who has lectures all over youtube. Dr. Daniel Amen. I haven't looked yet, but it'd be interesting to see if he says anything about this and hypersensitivities. I'll tell you something tho, right now I feel like I dont' know enough. Time to pick up the researching pace again, I guess. :) Yeah , sure I’d like to talk about it.

Hypersensitivity is part of ADHD? I never heard that. I swear to god, my husband thinks I am autistic because of my sensory issues. My biggest problem is walking on dirt/sand. I never go to the beach because I cannot stand the feeling of sand on my feet. It makes me feel nauseated. I can't touch chalk. I can't touch baby powder, or anything else with that texture. There are a lot of foods I won't touch because the texture makes my teeth hurt - mushrooms, water chestnuts, okra, rice krispie treats, and raised donuts among them. I can't wear certain fabrics. Fluorescent lights are evil - you'll notice I'm the only one in my work area who has the light off all the time. I just thought I was a little nuts. This is very interesting! I'm out of the office this week and next, but when I return I would absolutely love to meet up with you and talk about this. It's fascinating! REALLY? Hypersensitivity is part of ADHD?
