I scored an 18, but when I removed all the symptoms that could be related to autism (sensitivity to stimuli, resistance to change and such,) I scored a 5. Before discovering autism, I was convinced high sensitivity was my problem; it wasn't until I learned about AS that I realised that I was only "highly sensitive" in the physical sense, and that socially and emotionally, I was the opposite of an HSP.
