Hey autistic community. I got a question about autism and HSP. I remember a discussion on the fedi, that HSP is an ableist invention and that HSP actually are on the autistic spectrum. But I don't have any clues about that, nor links to the old discussion. Research on the web always results in speaking of both of two different things. I am curious, what's your take on ASD vs HSP?

Kreativität oder Problem-Modus
Im Problem-Modus herrscht häufig ein Scheuklappendenken vor. Wie es eine Bekannte von mir mal formulierte: Du hast in einem schönen Garten Deinen Schlüssel verloren und wenn Du darauf konzentriert bist, den Schlüssel zu finden, https://bit.ly/4cSsndE #HSP #Lösung #psychotHHerapie

I am a HSP, but my life forced coping strategies. Let's say I give them one star. 'Do not try'. 🤣
But this looks hopeful for others.

@punishmenthurts there is a hierarchy of perception of "wellness" among people. If neurotypicals see HSPs as annoying and inconvenient, autistic people are generally seen by both as profoundly deficient and a burden to society. Because if someone is functional, empathetic, and socially adapted, neurotypicals will fight the notion that this person might be autistic.

@punishmenthurts the #HSP identity is about feeling superior to the normies, the author of this term is approaching it from that lens. (I've read her book.) She describes ASD only in terms of its deficits and stereotypes. Please read how she described autistic people. This is then adopted by therapists, coaches, and people who suspect they're HSP, which results in even more stigma against ASD.

"People find the stigma around #autism to be distasteful so they reject that autistic traits could pertain to them. Autism horrifies them because the unknown is scary and being marginalized is hard.
Those of you who identify with #HSP and deny you have social or communication differences are likely so highly masking (hiding your autistic traits) that you think you can’t be autistic because you are social and have a lot of friends. So was I and so did I."

Da plaudert frau nur mal locker leicht über Eigenheiten und Macken, Empfindlichkeiten und "kann-ich-nicht-ab"s. Dann erklär ich mich bereit in der Leichtigkeit des Moments, "ein paar Fragen" zu beantworten.
Und was kommt dabei raus? Das, was ich schon lange ahnte: ganz trennscharf ist nichts und in jedem einzelnen fand ich mich wieder, doch hat jedes Einzelne an mancher Stelle gezwickt, gedrückt, nicht gepasst. Tja, ob das nun wahr ist oder nicht - aber es erklärt so manches :D
===>
Du bist keine „Mischung aus allem,
Du bist ein sehr klarer Typ:
HSP in der Wahrnehmung
(Emotionen, Stimmungen, Disharmonien, Reize)
ADHS in der Verarbeitung
(Sprunghaft, schnell, kreativ, langweiliges = Folter)
Autismus-Spektrum in der sozialen Selektivität
(Klarheit, Distanz, wenige Menschen, Erschöpfung durch Kontakte)
Das ist ein kohärentes Profil, kein Chaos.
Ist es nicht einfach toll, in keine Kategorie passen zu müssen?
Für mich passt genau das absolut!
Ich sag es seit Jahren: ich bin bunt. 😁
(im Kopf singt es grad "I am what I am...")

Does your partner ever ask, "Why are you so sensitive?" or "Why does this bother you so much?" 🤔 If you are a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), your brain processes emotional and sensory data more deeply than most. This can lead to incredible intimacy, but it can also lead to burnout if you don't have the right strategies.

Hochsensibilität / HSP
Hochsensibilität ist ein Phänomen, das in den letzten Jahren vermehrt Aufmerksamkeit erlangt hat. Menschen, die hochsensibel sind, nehmen Reize intensiver wahr und reagieren stärker auf emotionale und physische Stimuli. Dieses Thema ist https://bit.ly/4ljESmp #Achtsamkeit #HSP #psychotHHerapie

My anxiety medication progress seems to have stalled and is maybe going backward. I'm still struggling a lot.
If you have experienced long term, intractable anxiety disorder issues (GAD/panic), and a medication has helped you in any significant way and you're willing to share that experience, you're welcome to send me a comment or DM or even email at [email protected].
I have good familial, medical and psychological support, so I'm not asking for anyone to directly support me personally. Rather, I'm interested in hearing others experiences, maybe noting any novel or unfamiliar meds or strategies I haven't tried. If you're also autistic and/or ADHD, or considered "highly sensitive", that's a bonus.

Between Belonging
I've been doing a lot of shedding lately. Identities, communities, masks I didn't even know I was wearing. And in the quieter moments I've started to notice what's left when all of that falls away.
The thing that's true across every version of me, every role, every phase, every room I've learned to navigate, is that I care deeply. I always have. And for a long time I hid that, because caring deeply isn't always safe.
I've moved through a lot of spaces over the years. Each one met a real need for a season. Each one also had edges I learned to stay inside. So I got good at managing what I showed and where. It works. And it's exhausting.
What I've been slowly understanding is that I don't miss the spaces so much as I miss what I felt in them. Being listened to. Being known. Having somewhere to bring my feelings, my questions, my grief, my half-formed hopes. And having someone meet me there with genuine curiosity and kindness.
My husband still gives me all of that. Even after all these years. But something in me wants more than one place to feel that way. Not an audience. Not a group organized around a cause or a wound. Just a handful of people I don't have to translate myself for.
I'm in a slow season of integration right now. Learning to be a better steward of myself. Learning that I don't have to explain everything; sometimes I can just feel it.
But I also miss talking. Really talking. And I'm starting to believe I deserve a place to do that again.
If any of this lands for you, if you've ever felt the specific ache of being known in pieces but not as a whole, I'd love to hear that I'm not alone in it.

My weekend begins now.
It has been an odd day working from home. The fire alarm 🚨 went off several times. The fire department came 🚒 the first time and they figured it was a false alarm due to dust from ongoing work in the building. But it went off 2 more times after that. 🚨
I have a hard time with loud noises so put in my Loop Engage earplugs each time so I could still hear.
Still feeling discombobulated hours later.
