"The clinical research psychologist who created the concept of HSP and first wrote about it, Elaine Aron, based the HSP criteria on family members who have since been diagnosed with autism"

How is HSP even a thing after that?

#HighlySensitivePerson #HSP #Autism "If one looks closely at the description of a Highly Sensitive Person it matches the criteria for autism almost word for word"

My thoughts exactly when I've read about HSP. I was clearly reading about autism.

#HateToDisappointYouBut ADHD is likely not what you think it is. I'm saying this because most people think #ADHD is just hyperactive, naughty little boys, and it couldn't be more wrong. It affects life in so many ways. If you know people with it, please find out what it's about. Find more info & ADHD people: #ADHDinattentive #ADHDmyths
