There's a whole group of families who have taken their kids out of school for these very reasons. I know some of the kids.

I have some "highly sensitive" traits. Have a hard time with florescent lights, strong smells. Two of my sons have issues with socks and tags in clothing and the like. I know some preemies develop sensitivity issues from having their nervous systems exposed to too much too soon. It's a real thing, with a continuum, like most things.
