25, but I have no clue how caffeine affects me because I rarely drink anything that has caffeine in it. Overall I can't say that I'm at all surprised.

Thank you.

I have the impression that high sensitivity is not part of common taxonomy, in which case ASDs become the next 'best' thing. Which specialists would you recommend for ASD screening: psychiatrists, neuropsychologists … ?
Find someone who specializes in ASD. Could be a psychiatrist of a psychologist.

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.
