ABSTRACT

Most individuals with WS (WSs) are intensely hypersensitive and severely impaired in the areas of perceptual and motor performance. This is apparent in the difficulties they usually face in performing everyday activities that involve visuospatial, motor, and visuomotor skills. Hypersensitivity to certain ordinary sounds plague almost all WSs, and tactile sensitivity affects quite a few. In addition, paradoxical perceptual abilities are often exhibited by WSs within the visual, auditory, and tactile areas of perception.
