I can relate to it although I think a lot of those attributes (possibly all of them) can be explained by something other than being 'highly sensitive'. As I once heard someone say..."Look for the most obvious explanation first before you start going on about the supernatural".

I can relate, especially to this one.

I'm in a social anxiety group & there was something very similar posted & nearly everyone in that group could relate, so I don't think so.

Unless everyone of them has Asperger's lol :lol: . (That's meant to be sarcastic, not rude :) .)

That was my first thought, too. Sounds like a less clincal description of AS to me.

This sound's fasanating... 8O

I'm just too sleepy (got too little sleep last night, anyways...x_x) to really get into what traits sound like me at the moment, though. I don't think i'm really like a lot of these trats, though...but it's still intresting.....

All the characteristics fit. Especially the low tolerance for noise.

All of those fit me. The first one seems to contradict what some of the experts think about AS (the assumed face/mind blindness thingy). I notice emotions in other people very well. When it comes to social cues it's the unemotional stuff that I don't get, like proper timing, rythm, etc.

I have some contradictions though. Usually I have a very gentle 'not wanting to hurt a fly' personality but I also have a very low frustration tolerance and show my anger more than people would expect.
