Hypersensitive sense of smell and hearing, plus need for solitude, and you mentioned in another comment "hyperempathy" when listening to people... could be autistic spectrum. Often comes hand-in-hand with some ADHD symptoms as well. Do you have difficulty reading people's facial expressions, or at least did as a child?


I don't. In fact, people often look to me for more nuanced interpretations during meetings and social interactions.
