5 autistic hyper empathy signs I would have noticed about you growing up

Just a gentle reminder that not all autistic people are hyper empathetic.

Autism is a spectrum, and empathy is too.

Some autistic people experience hyper empathy, where they feel other people's emotions deeply and intensely. Others may experience empathy differently, struggle to identify emotions in the moment, or not relate to this experience at all.

Neither is more autistic than the other.

This video is simply for those who recognise themselves in the hyper empathetic end of the spectrum and have spent a lifetime wondering why other people's pain seemed to affect them so deeply.

If this isn't your experience, that's okay too.



I feel guilt that I cant get back to everyone and honestly I do care about you and your experience. 💛

5 things I would have noticed about you as an autistic person that nobody talks about.

Hopefully this makes sense.
For some of us, identity formation and masking were never two separate journeys.
We were discovering who we were at the exact same time we were learning which parts of ourselves felt safest to hide.

A quick disclaimer before the comment section does its thing.
I'm not saying these experiences are exclusive to autistic people.
Anybody CAN experience them.
BUT there is a reason I chose this topic.
As a therapist, and as an autistic woman myself, I have seen these patterns repeatedly.
Not on occasions,
Repeatedly.
Research consistently shows that autistic people, are at significantly higher risk of bullying, exploitation, abusive relationships, friendship trauma, sexual victimisation, workplace mistreatment and mental health difficulties.
When I look back at many people I've worked with, one thing stands out.
Most didn't see themselves as vulnerable.
They saw themselves as independent.
Capable.
Strong.
Resilient.
And often they were all of those things.
The vulnerability was rarely a lack of intelligence.
It was often a combination of trusting too much, doubting themselves too quickly, assuming honesty in others, explaining away red flags, and believing they were the problem when something felt wrong.
As always, use your own judgement.
Take what resonates and leave what doesn't

5 things I would have noticed about you before
you got your diagnosis of autism

Yes, I understand that some people ask these questions from a place of genuine curiosity.
So if somebody says I experience that too, but I'm not autistic and they're genuinely trying to understand, that's a completely different conversation.
Curiosity, questions and nuance are welcome.
But what I'm talking about are the comments that aren't curious at all.
The ones that repeatedly respond to discussions about autistic experiences with opposition and ignroance but no further validity.
As though they've uncovered some profound flaw in the argument.
Nobody said otherwise.
Autism research is full of correlations, overlaps, and comorbidities. That's how patterns are identified.
The problem isn't disagreement.
The problem is reducing a complex neurodevelopmental condition to a one dimensional understanding and then arguing against something that was never said in the first place.
Sometimes it feels less like curiosity and more like people are still working from an understanding of autism that belongs several decades ago while the conversation and criteria has moved on.
There's a difference between asking questions to learn and asking questions because you've already decided you know the answer.

I wholeheartedly believe in the power of healing but not how everyone always angles it.

Many people think healing and self development is, fix this. Improve that. Work harder. Be better. Be less sensitive. Be less emotional. Be less affected. Be more productive. Be more like everyone else and then you might like yourself.

But healing was never about becoming acceptable.

It was about becoming honest.
Honest about our needs. Honest about our limits. Honest about our emotions. Honest about our capacity. Honest about who we are when nobody is watching.

Because spending your life fighting yourself is exhausting.
Real healing is self-understanding.
Less proving and more self trusting.
Less shame and more self compassion.
Less forcing and more listening to your internal messaging system.

The irony is that when we stop trying to become somebody else, we often become more capable, more resilient, and more ourselves than ever before.
Because we finally stopped treating ourselves like a problem to solve. 🌱💛
