Sensitivity to Noise and Touch
Individuals with Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) often have an increased sensitivity to noise and touch. This heightened sensitivity can be quite distressing and can significantly disrupt their daily activities. Moreover, it can also contribute to the development of anxiety and depression symptoms.
Challenges in Fine Motor Skills
Individuals with SPS often face difficulties with fine motor skills, which involve the use of small muscles for tasks like writing or buttoning a shirt. The primary symptoms of SPS can also impact these muscles, leading to increased challenges in performing these tasks. Consequently, individuals may gradually experience a loss of independence as these activities become more demanding.
