People with Neuromuscular Disorders are more likely than the average population to have sensory problems.

Additionally, people with SPD don't necessarily have all their senses that get out of control. For example: My taste sense rarely gets overwhelmed and the few things that bother me I can easily avoid or just "suck it up". My other senses it is impossible to just "suck it up" when they are irritating me.

When my senses are overloading me it makes my Ion Channel Disorder (it affects my muscles) also activate and cause me various movement and muscle problems. I fall often. Prior to Irlen Lenses, a change in light caused me to paralyze and then fall.
