Re: Autism Is Not the Same as Being a Highly Sensitive Person. Here’s the Difference.

Once the definitions become clearer it might become clearer, but I’m leaning towards this understanding too. Having always identified as HSP until age 47 when diagnosed with autism. Maybe there is a definition saying autism is breadth of processing, and HSP is depth or processing (in which case I’m both) but in learning about myself and watching my autistic son, I’d say it is often that the depth of processing is what causes our slow responses/communication challenges. So that would mean our HSPness causes communication issues and therefore the DSM needs an update on the HSP “disorder” 😉
Of course the truth is, if they are different “diagnosis” one is not better than the other, and obviously the group of people who create the DSM every few years are not the authority on human value. I think this article’s writer probably didn’t mean to be so offensive, she’s probably just blunt, with communication difficulties (if you know what I mean.)

Haha totally. Feels like there’s some shadow work in this for the author.

Wow. I would like to know why he said that. I know that many activists are using Facebook to raise awareness and money quite successfully. However, I do dream of a day where platforms aren't so confining and the integration between sites becomes more common place.
There is something interesting going on, it seems, with the power that individuals now gain by using Facebook and other social media tools and the structure that those tools are enforcing upon the individual at the same time. Could that relate to what he was talking about?
