On the sensitive side of sensory processing disorder

Sensory processing disorder it often comes along with ASD autism spectrum disorder.

Senses can be dulled or heightened and not always all one or the other.

If you have dulled hearing you might love to go to really loud concert.

But on the other hand it also can make you a difficult person to be around because you can't handle things and other people don't know why.

I was googling the word for "On the sensitive side of sensory processing disorder" about how "I can't feel water that well I can feel if it's hot or cold but not really if it's wet, and I have really bad spatial awareness with somethings like with driving and giving directions I get lost all the time, and a poor concept of time" cause I can't spell and found out there's this thing called Dyschronometria and it is

Dyschronometria is a condition of cerebellar dysfunction in which an individual cannot accurately estimate the amount of time that has passed (i.e., distorted time perception). It is associated with cerebellar ataxia, when the cerebellum has been damaged and does not function to its fullest ability.

Common signs of dyschronometria are often generic to cerebellar ataxia, including a lack of spatial awareness, poor short term memory, and inability to keep track of time. The defining symptoms, while not completely understood, involve time perception.

It is associated with cerebellar ataxia, when the cerebellum has been damaged and does not function to its fullest ability. Lesions to the cerebellum can cause dyssynergia, dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia, dysarthria, and ataxia of stance and gait. Dyschronometria can result from autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA)

Dyslexia

An interesting case of dyschronometria has to do with dyslexia. When dyslexia was studied within children, it was found that dyslexic children were often stressed as well as mentally exhausted. These children would place little to no importance on their present state, a behavior that would continue into adulthood. It remains unclear as to whether dyslexia is a symptom of dyschronometria, a cause, or both.
