What is hyposensitivity?

Hyposensitivity

Hyposensitivy is the result of the central nervous system being "under" stimulated by sensory input. Many people mistakenly assume that children who are hyperactive are overstimulated, when in reality, their hyperactivity is related to not being stimulated enough. A child lacking sensory input to kinesthetic movement may twirl, spin, bump into things, plow into people, hug too hard, or show other means of gaining sensory input.
