That's my point, there is no such thing as HSP, it's a made-up "diagnosis". I'm not saying all sensitive people are Autistic, and I clarified that in the article. Your son may not be Autistic, he's sensitive because he has anxiety. There's no need for an HSP label, beause we already understand that we're more sensitive when we're anxious. I'm not saying all anxious or all sensitive people are Autistic, I'm saying there are already explanations for the sensitivities, we don't need to make up a new label to avoid identifying people who actually are Autistic. I made that clear in the article as well.
