I find this thread very interesting. I have ADHD...so reading all of the responses is way too overwhelming. I am also a HSP.
I found a book (and the author) called "Scattered" by Gabor Mate, MD. The book is about ADHD and he includes things that I would never have associated with it. He also has it (and his kids) and he has some very interesting ideas about it's origin. Frankly I'm only half way through it. I get very overwhelmed when reading it, it has pushed my buttons. I've cried a lot. I have yet to get to the part where he addresses how to handle this. I've had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times. He has a heart of gold and truly cares. If you have ADHD I highly suggest you pick up this book and give it a look.

Does anyone else find "Good morning" to be an intrusive/annoying greeting? I have always loathed the obligatory "Good morning" ritual. I'd rather say "Hello" and be the first to initiate social contact, especially in the morning. I don't wake up easily.

A fellow "Aspergirl" sent me this great blog post about the traits of female Aspies. It hit the nail right on the head for me. Can anyone (of the butch/femme/trans/other-identified) variety identify with what's written here?
Also, do you think gender identity or expression have an effect on the types of spectrum traits exhibited by individuals? https://aspergersgirls.wordpress.com...females-girls/

Not sure if I should post here since I don’t have ASD, but I am epileptic and I have a rare neurological disorder called mirror touch synesthesia. Neither are fun.

It is always tricky for me as a neurodiverse woman to be seen as such. I am a dedicated actress, every day I put on my "normal" facade and go into the world. The older I get the more I chafe under the yoke of passing.
