Life on High Volume: The Ups and Downs of Hypersensitivity
Description
In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott share their lived experiences with sensory hypersensitivity — from painful sounds, bright lights, and strong smells to the surprising joys of heightened senses.
They explore:
- Why sensory overload is so disabling for autistic & ADHD adults
- The difference between hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity
- How noise-cancelling headphones, sunglasses, and environmental changes can help
- The emotional side of hypersensitivity: empathy, overstimulation & burnout
- Reframing sensitivity as both a challenge and a hidden strength
If you’ve ever struggled with noise sensitivity, light sensitivity, or sensory overload, this conversation offers practical tools, validation, and humour to help you feel less alone.
