I have a masters degree in Mental Health Counseling and I have never encountered anything like this checklist (that I remember). I believe my two young adult sons and I all have many of these symptoms. I have had migraines all my life, and not surprisingly have all the visual hypersensitivities big time. (Also not surprisingly I am an artist) I find parties overwhelming and migraine inducing - too much stimulation. Sitting at a big table in a restaurant can be challenging to try to navigate all the various conversations. But now that I am on Topamax for migraines, I am much more able to "keep up".
