Autism vs Highly Sensitive Person. Yep, again!
Do you have Autism, or are you just a highly sensitive person?
From my observations and experiences here on YouTube, there are many people who misdiagnose themselves as having Autism Spectrum Disorder, but instead the majority of them are just having a sensory processing sensitivity.
The last episode here on this channel discusses that broadly.
Nevertheless, there are for sure some people, who actually have autism (ASD).
In order to get a clear understanding of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), here are 9 big signs, that it’s actually ASD, not just HSP.
We also discuss the overlap of both conditions, visualized in a venn-diagram at the end of the episode.
And in the episode next week, we will explore how a diagnosis of ASD+HSP could look like, if those are basically the same thing.
