As a HSP, I've been told I might be on the autism or ADHD spectrum because things like sound/light/environment are "too much" at times and I prefer having 1:1's over a group. How are all these things differentiated (HSP, low-spectrum autism/ADHD) and how can one know for sure if it is one and not the other? Might there be there overlaps? I suspect talking to multiple doctors and taking multiple tests might be the best way, but curious if you have any thoughts on this. ❤
