I also have this quality, it can definitely be a two edged sword. The most beneficial aspect of it is that it helps me to know what my nonverbal son is either wanting or feeling more often than not. The opposite side of the spectrum is when I enter a crowded room, I don't really know how to feel, because there is so much outside influence flooding in.I absorb other people's emotions, which can be an advantage in specific situations (family, partners, etc) as they can't hide it from me if they are having a bad day.

We may have advantages, but they arent ones nts particularly value, you know, 99% of the population? If you say to potential partners or employers you have it theres a good chance youll face a rejection as a result, we may have advantages but if there are bigger disadvantages the net benefit is still in the negative.You know, positive things? I believe for every positive there is a negative and visa versa . Just depends on how you look at the situation really. For example, my son can see things I cannot believe (like a white thread in snow) with ease, yet he can't speak, nor do many things others can do.
I believe (in my case, anyway) that hyper-vigilance is an adaptive response to "leaky sensory gating."Like the 'super noticing' but it may not necessarily be anxiety related.
This thread is not about disadvantages and negativity, as I stated in the first sentence... There's plenty of other threads to spread that kind of stuff around. Please go there if you can't comply.We may have advantages, but they arent ones nts particularly value, you know, 99% of the population?

The fact that you perceive theres plenty of negative threads on here says a lot about how you view things, im a member of this site to share my ideas and thoughts, not to 'comply' and repeat your mantras. I'll be sure to avoid your threads from now on if thats the case.This thread is not about disadvantages and negativity, as I stated in the first sentence...
