You might enjoy reading _The Highly Sensitive Child_ by Elaine Aron.
Here's a website:

You might be interested in the Shine With Unschooling list for highly
sensitive and otherwise atypical children:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shinewithunschooling/

I have found both of these resources extremely helpful in creating a
better unschooling environment and in having a better relationship
with my highly sensitive son.

Peace,
