To your last statement RedFox - there is treatment for hypersensitivity to noise and lights. It just requires alot of physical therapy to teach the brain to take in stimuli and not overprocess it. Basically they are trying to use various methods to re-train the brain's way of functioning and processing. I once heard of a 9 year old girl who has this same condition. She would shriek and scream for hours without provocation, until a neurologist discovered what was really going on. She starts her day at 6 am, and they have her go through varying excercises such as jumping on a trampoline for 30 minutes, then they do some resistance excercises and they just do just a little bit at a time. Then she goes to regular school at 8 am just like the other children do, but at 12:30pm she goes to a special center where she meets a physical therapist and nuerological therapist where the collaborate and they give her more therapy. The therapy had been taking place for about 18 months and now she is just getting to where she is acting like a normal 9 year old girl. So it's helping and there's stuff out there to help with oversensitivity problems. There isnt a cure, as this will be a lifetime process for the girl.
