Sensory processing sensitivity
-
A person with high sensory processing sensitivity (i.e., a highly sensitive person) is someone who is extremely sensitive and, in a particularly intense experience of feelings or sensory impressions, this can be manifested as a distinct urge for them to move around or feeling the need for cognitive challenges as well as in their vivid imagination. Giftedness can, in some cases, be accompanied by sensory processing sensitivity.
