Sensory overload can be overwhelming, scary and exhausting, and may require a person to separate him or herself from a situation, perform a calming ritual or in some cases, melt down. Sensory overload happens when too much sensory stimulus is occurring at once — it can be triggered by a crowded room, a TV turned up too loud, strong aromas, fluorescent lighting — or a hundred other things.

ADD/ADHD and Sensory Dysfunction

In addition to the issues described above, people with ADD/ADHD may have sensory dysfunction, meaning that they are hypersensitive to and aware of sound, light, and physical sensations. Even the sensation of clothing on skin or the temperature in a room can be a distraction in ADD.

An attention deficit exists when the brain cannot maintain focus on important information. People with ADD cannot filter out unimportant information or prioritize important information. Problems controlling impulsive behaviors and thoughts are common.
