Thriving as a highly sensitive person, or autistic, or both - especially as a woman
Manage episode 418257673 series 3290787
"I do think that [my novel's heroine] Stella, deals with a lot of insecurity about herself because she's on the spectrum. And that's also something that I personally live with." Author Helen Hoang
"Growing up in the 1990s...I operated on a different wavelength: I gravitated towards philosophy and books that dissected the meaning of life. I was extremely literal, and had a fascination with math and numbers, as is common in autism." Zhara Astra
"Although there may be some similarities between the sensory processing challenges experienced by highly sensitive individuals and those with autism, there are some key differences..." Jules De Vitto
"I discuss the differences that set autism apart from high sensitivity, particularly in women. I highlight the outdated diagnostic criteria for autism and the misdiagnosis or lack of diagnosis in many women." Julie Bjelland, LMFT
