Hi.
I’m in the process of diagnosis for Autism and I’m reading up as much as I can on it, and have come across a lot of people talking about Highly Sensitive Persons / Sensory Processing Syndrome.
I read this link:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-highly-sensitive-child/202112/no-being-autistic-is-not-the-same-being-highly-sensitive
But it seems to me to basically sum up to:
There’s too many HSP to be autists.
The diagnosis of autism seems to be widening it’s criterias from the classic “white male child” tropes, yet still takes a firm stance away from HSP/SPS.
Why can HSP not be a subset of Autism?
They express that it can be comorbid with Autism, does that mean that every autistic person with sensory processing issues has SPS?

Commenting because I want to follow this thread. I have been pursuing a diagnosis of Autism for a while now because I’ve never found anything else that makes sense and I’ve mastered my social skills too much for doctors to listen to me.
Then this came to my attention recently and now I’m seeing it everywhere. Definetly seeking information on it and the differences because its so difficult to figure out.
