New research suggesting aspies feel too much. I had suspected this. It makes sense.

opinions?

I pretty much agree with these results.

For a long time I thought that I had no feelings of mine. I always sensed that I was myself only when alone exactly because I can be very influenced by the feelings of other people to the extend that I "get lost".

Earlier this year I came across the word asperger and found myself to have similar traits, but the lack of empathy really bothered me. So, yes, I think I am unable to filter these stimuli just like sound and light that affect me in a similar way. And the response to this? Shy away, since I can't stand it.

I just broke up with my wife (married for 6 years with child) and I did exactly what I have done the other time I broke up with other people: shut down my sensitivity around her, since I really can't stand her suffering. It's not that I don't care, it's just too much for me to feel.

I've always had empathy. I'm also way too sensitive for my own good, especially for a boy.

I have a lot of empathy for all living things. I've also had a shrink tell me that I was too sensitive.
