Interesting perspective. I have definitely seen a lot of overlap between HSP’s and autism and ADD. I am an HSP and I think I do have a few autistic traits but I don’t consider myself autistic because I am a true empath. I engage fully in social reciprocity and I am in tune to people’s feelings and I love feeling connected with others. Eye contact is very important to me.wouldn’t an autistic person shy away from this or be partially clueless about social reciprocity or being in touch with peoples feelings? I’m still learning. Let me know if there’s any books you recommend on female autism
