peer agreement (net): +1overly sensitive to stimuli / hypersensitive to stimuli Explanation: See English example at http://www.sro.nysed.gov/decisionindex/2002/02-018.htm "In April 2000, a private educational evaluator reported that the child had normal intelligence, with strengths in language skills, but weaknesses in perceptual, fine motor and math skills. The child achieved a verbal IQ score of 112, a performance IQ score of 86, and a full scale IQ score of and 99 on the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. The testing confirmed that the child was <B>hypersensitive to stimuli</B>, and had attention deficits and social anxiety. Due to the child’s excellent reading skills, the educational evaluator recommended that she be placed in a group of normal peers with individualized attention. The evaluator opined that the child would not do well in an inclusion class (Exhibit 26)." See also http://www.adhs-zentrum.de/ADHS/Krankheitsverlauf.php "Die Erwachsenen sind dann nicht mehr hyperaktiv im Sinne von "hibbelig" oder "zappelig", sind somit nach außen hin nicht mehr so auffällig. Sie haben aber weiterhin das Problem ausgesprochen <B>reizoffen</B> zu sein, sie sind hypersensibel und haben Schwierigkeiten ihre Impulse zu steuern (sie flippen leicht aus)." http://www.tokol.de/content/view/14/546/ "PROBLEME MIT REIZFILTERUNG UND -VERARBEITUNG AD(H)S-Betroffene sind sehr <B>reizoffen, was bedeutet, dass Sinneseindrücke verstärkt wahrgenommen werden</B>. Dadurch kommt es schnell zu einer Reizüberflutung. Es ist für Betroffene oft kaum möglich Reize zu filtern, also auszublenden, was gerade unwichtig ist und sich auf das zu konzentrieren, was wichtig ist. Bei Stress wird es zunehmend schwierig, die Sinneseindrücke richtig zu verarbeiten und zu sortieren." |
