What's the difference between Autism's sensory challenges and sensorial challenges when you are HSP??

I have recently encountered the term HSP (Highly Sensitive Person, otherwise called SPS "sensory processing sensitivity, not to be confused with SPD which is Sensory Processing Disorder this latter is an actual diagnosis while the others are considered to be "personality traits") and I have started reading about it. I stumbled upon an article that stated that it was different than autism and to not confuse it with it, it listed a bunch of differences but I am still confused... So am asking if anyone could explain the differences to me further whether from experience or from their understanding of the theoretical trait differences.

Is empathic attunement a quality of HSP/SPS? Can it be confused for CPTSD or PTSD? Can it comorbid with ASD and CPTSD, if so how can they display themselves and affect each other?

I do plan on discussing this with a doctor since that's what is recommended but I wonder what others on here's perspective on this is.
