Sensory integration and processing difficulties can be a feature of a number of disorders, including anxiety problems, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), [14] food intolerances, behavioral disorders, and particularly, autism spectrum disorders.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) - This is the most common cause of vertigo in adults, but it is rarer in children. Unlike BPVC, BPPV is provoked by changes in the head position. [4] Otitis media and Vestibular neuritis - Unlike BPVC, these conditions are both associated with ear pain or fullness, and the vertigo is not episodic. [3 ...
As more is learned about Pitt–Hopkins, the developmental spectrum of the disorder is widening, and can also include difficulties with anxiety, autism, [5] ADHD, and sensory disorders. It is associated with an abnormality within chromosome 18 which causes insufficient expression of the TCF4 gene. [6]
With 15.5 million U.S. adults currently diagnosed with ADHD, there is a growing focus on warning signs of the disorder. Mental health experts share the most common signs and symptoms.
In clinically severe form, it affects about 1.5% of the general population of 7-year-old-children; 3-6% are affected by more moderate variants. Boys are overrepresented; girls are currently probably underdiagnosed. There are many comorbid problems/overlapping conditions, including conduct disorder, depression/anxiety, and academic failure.
Sensory overload has been found to be associated with other disorders and conditions such as: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) People with ADHD display hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli from a young age; this hypersensitivity often persists into adulthood.
An alternative theory suggests that the rhythmic movements help develop the vestibular system in young children, which can partially explain the high prevalence of RMD in infants. It has been seen that children who have underdeveloped vestibular systems benefit from performing RMD-like movements which stimulate the vestibular system [ 16 ] .
Auditory processing disorder (APD), rarely known as King-Kopetzky syndrome, is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting the way the brain processes sounds. [2] Individuals with APD usually have normal structure and function of the ear, but cannot process the information they hear in the same way as others do, which leads to difficulties in recognizing and interpreting sounds, especially the ...
