#27 Nej, kanske inte förvånad egentligen att du gav dig in i ett slikt resonemang om något som är omgärdat av skepsis: "vad jag vet så är ASD överkänsliga och har svårt att hantera samma mängd input som övriga klarar utan problem medan HSP är högkänsliga och tar in mer input. Jag brukar se det som att ASD har svårare att processa intryck som ljud medan HSP har bättre hörsel.
Jag tycker det verkar som du blandat ihop ASD och HSP".
I've been performing interesting experiments in proffering my opinions and finding that some of the men out there respond on the grounds that my opinion is wrong, while theirs is right because they are convinced that their opinion is a fact, while mine is a delusion.

Types of Problems
The Irlen Method is not a cure for Autism or Asperger Syndrome. Not every individual with Autism and Asperger Syndrome suffers with perceptual problems, light sensitivity, and sensory overload. The Irlen Method is a piece of the puzzle for some individuals. Typical problems that can be helped by the Irlen Method are:
(1) Sensory Overload caused by bright lights, fluorescent lights, and sunlight. Lighting is stressful; and this results in behaviors to filter out the light, poor eye contact, and physical symptoms such as anxiety or headaches.
(2) Environmental Distortions where the individual sees the world in a distorted fashion. Objects are blurry, moving, changing, and can disappear. People may look frightening, stairs may look like a slide without steps, and walls and floors may swing and sway. Misperceptions can cause difficulties with sustained attention, eye contact, gross and small motor coordination, ability to interpret facial expressions, and poor social skills.
(3) Print Distortions make learning or reading difficult. The individual may have good or even advanced reading skills but has trouble with reading comprehension or experiences strain and fatigue when reading or doing other activities. Tracking or building breaks into reading may be a problem.

ABSTRACT
Objective: Aron and Aron (1997) developed the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS) to measure individual differences in sensory-processing sensitivity (SPS). Their experiments showed that sensitivity is a one-dimensional construct characterized by high susceptibility to both external (e.g. light, noise) and internal (hunger, pain) stimuli (Aron 2013), later studies which were conducted using the HSPS, disagreed their concept. Further studies of the SPS construct are justified by the following: a Russian version of HSPS questionnaire has not yet been developed; the inner structure of the construct has not yet been conclusively defined (Aron and Aron, 2012), a different method of statistical data analysis may be required; the vast majority of studies, were using small homogeneous groups for sampling. Thus, the purpose of the present study was the psychometric evaluation of the Highly sensitive person scale using Russian data samples.
Method: Two approaches ? active and passive - were employed to collect the field data. The active approach used verbal advertising among undergraduate university students, i.e. the ?snowball method?, whereas the passive approach relied on social media advertisements in Facebook and
VK.com. 860 respondents participated in the study: 350 undergraduate university student volunteers (117 males, 233 females, average age 18.2) and 510 social media users (380 females, 130 males, average age 22.6).
Results: The results of this study did not confirm the one-dimension model of sensitivity suggested in Aron and Aron (1997), nether was the three-factor model suggested by others. The hierarchical cluster and confirmatory analyses employed for the operationalization procedure suggest that sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) can be described in a two-factor model consisting of ?Ease of Excitation? and ?Low Sensory Threshold? subscales. The ?Aesthetic Sensitivity? factor was identified during hierarchical cluster analysis, but showed very low correlation with the other factors ?Ease of Excitation? and ?Low Sensory Threshold?. This result encourages us to look deeper into the conceptual model of HSPS developed in Aron and Aron (1997).
Conclusion: The operationalization of the Russian version of HSPS confirmed that the SPS is multidimensional construct. The precise number of subscales remains open. The term sensitivity has many meanings in modern psychology, a more rigorous definition of the sensitivity construct is required.

Highly Sensitive Person | Psychology Today
According to Aron's theory, HSPs are a subset of the population-estimated to comprise approximately 15 to 20 percent-who are high in a personality trait known as sensory-processing sensitivity, or SPS. Those with high levels of SPS display increased emotional sensitivity, stronger reactivity to both external and internal stimuli-pain, hunger, light, and noise - and a complex inner life.
HSPs are also thought to be more disturbed than others by violence, tension, or feelings of being overwhelmed. They may, as a result, make concerted efforts to avoid situations in which such things are likely to occur. On the more positive end of the trait, high sensitivity is thought to be linked to higher levels of creativity, richer personal relationships, and a greater appreciation for beauty.
