‘Highly sensitive child’ is something I hear often described by my clients as their childhood experience.

The problem with simply chalking everything up to this is that often it comes with others telling you to just ‘suck it up’ - like it’s a problem with you (it isnt).

This never allows a person to think about how they could potentially change their environment to make life easier for them.

This is why I think it’s so important that people go through an autism assessment if they think it might be applicable to them. You are able to learn so much more about your brain - not just about your sensory sensitivities, but many other aspects too.

If you’ve been seeing autism content particularly related to highly masking presentations and want to explore it for yourself, we have immediate availability in our online clinic to see adult clients across Australia.
