There are bipolars that struggle with finding the right med. Your child might not find a good med easily. Your baby is not you.

What polishes the edges of Asperger's? WHY would you want to? It's not a disease. What "helps" Asperger's is to regulate activity because especially when the childhood energy fades and the Aspie use up more energy than the NT, he/she needs to learn to pace. Or they might have a burnout.

Otherwise the Aspie, in general, need alone time to recharge. And maybe learn destress methods.

They also need to be encouraged a lot in what they do well, since the world might beat them down for what they don't do well, so they need a base of self esteem and love. And that they are not lazy or stupid even if some people might think so.

A HSP is a highly sensitive person. It is a concept but not a diagnosis.

What HSP and AS have in common is they have weak filters through the surroundings, it is called low latent inhibition. Like you are born AS you are born HSP. You also take in more information, can feel overwhelmed and usually good details. Both can also be sensitive to say itchy clothes and bright light. Both can be easily stressed and have high stress levels if pushed to rush or similar. Both are interested in responsibility and going a good job. Can be perfectionist. Changes are hard. Wants to plan in advance.

What might be present in AS but maybe not in HSP:

Bad or different social skills
Not reading people's faces well
Might stim (HSP fidget sometimes though)
Has a more narrow interest base (especially boys)
AS might have worse organizing skills
Bigger differences between what the Aspie is good and bad at


HSP traits that are not necessarily AS traits:

Affected by other people's moods, feels what the other person feels
Self reflecting and have as much of a life inside as outside his/her head
Hates pain, hates hunger
Often careful as a child, sometimes shy
Sensitive to TV news or even emotional/violent movies
Often manages school and work but can be nervous about it

I hope this cleared it up a little.
