In our poll we now have 5 out of 43 who are not HSP. I assume they are all ASD. I'm also on a Dutch ASD forum and posted this test there, we found not-HSP ASDs (diagnosed) there. So apparently there are also ASD people who are not HSP. I think finding not-HSP ASDs and finding HSP NTs is interesting. Because I have been wondering about the overlap between ASD and HSP.

All the sensitivity stuff seems to be listed under the symptoms for dyspraxia, at least on Wikipedia.
Sensory sensitivity is among the Dyspraxia symptoms, but sensory sensitivity is not among the criteria for Dyspraxia in the DSM IV.
See:
Dyspraxia Symptoms and
Dyspraxia / Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) - DSM IV criteria
Just like sensory sensitivity is among the symptoms for ASD but not among the criteria in the DSM IV.
So there is overlap between sensory sensitivity and ASD and there is overlap between sensory sensitivity and Dyspraxia. And there is also overlap between ASD and Dyspraxia.
