Exactly. My wife and I both have sensory issues, and while they overlap, there are significant differences. Which is fortunate, because her texture issues mean she can’t fold laundry but I can, for example. My texture issues are more extended contact-related, so I can fold wool socks, but I can’t wear them. And there are limited materials I can wear.
We both have similar auditory sensitivities, so our house is quite quiet, and we had to check neighbourhoods at multiple times when we were house shopping to make sure there were no deal-breaker environmental sounds.
Yep. I have light and sound sensitivity to the point I wear earplugs at work at all times, and I have certain sensitivities to textures (both food and touch). I’m grateful I don’t have temperature sensitivities, although my lack of reaction to cold temps is its own problem.
What I mean by all this is everyone’s sensitivities are different even if they can overlap with someone else’s. My light sensitivity may be less or more severe than someone else but we still share the base of it.
Without elaborating it is hard to judge.

She has olfactory sensitivities, but I don’t.
What are your sensitivities?
weirdly enough, I share the same sensitivities as your wife.
