Is there literature on whether people with non-typical sensory makeups (not just deafness or blindness, but also extra sensitivity in some sense etc) think/feel differently? Do the blind think in more stream of consciousness ways for example? Is neuro-sensory-typicality a thing?

Nope. Actual difference in sensory perception. Eg noise, touch etc. different from the highly sensitive person trait but intuitively I think they’re probably linked in some way.

Yup ASD spectrum people (approx 1 in 100 of the population) Have all sorts of sensory processing differences wrt neurotypical people. And it is a spectrum. ‘High functioning’ autism - loads of literature on this.
