Hello adamlathamsmith

Sensory issues are when you are very sensitive to one ore more of the senses. This could be sight, sound, smell, taste, or touch.

For example, you may find bright lights very hard to deal with and they may make you feel very uncomfortable.

It would be worth talking to your GP if you feel like this.

Here is more information about learning disabilities -

Learning disability is often confused with learning difficulties such as dyslexia, ADHD or Dyspraxia. Here is some information to explain - mencap.org.uk/learning-disa...

Does this help? Please let know if I can help further.

Best wishes

Sarah
