Had my parents known this - many years ago! But that sensitivity and creativity and all the rest is still in there, under all the problems. It's how to set it all in its place.

HSP isn't an actual thing; it's a term this woman came up with based on her family members who then got diagnosed as autistic. HSP is just autism under a different name.

Of course, many of us wish this information had been available when we were growing up. Regardless, I’m thankful for Dr. Aron’s work which will help current and future generations of HSPs and their loved ones. ❤️
