I think some labels are negative. I was terrified of the labels, but I have found positive support from it and the work that they are doing with my son is great. They think he will not need special ed forever, just a few years to learn what he needs to to be able to cope himself.

To be honest, this is a godsend for me. My father, my brother, and I are all people with hypersensitivities. I can't handle loud noises or too much olfactory input, especially when I'm stressed or tired. But, I was never taught to cope. I am very successful, have never had it fully interfere with me doing my job. My only problem is that I avoid. Since I do not know how to handle myself in these stressful situations, I try not to be in them, rather than having learned how to work past it.:/
