Anyone with autism have sensitivity with criticism?

I have it and for ages my parents didn't understand it but now at least I do after doing some googling and having the diagnosis of Asperger's since yesterday. I just shared this article to my family. I also have sensitivity to noise.

  • No human is set up for Criticism and Rejection. It's not natural. Technically, everyone is sensitive to it. It's just we experience being apprehended, misjudged, misrepresented, misunderstood DAILY. 

    Learning to be diplomatic and supportive can be difficult for parents who've never been taught how (especially in the US, where a sense of fairness overshadows compassion). The art of helping another grow and learning to properly identify why something is amiss is also a complex issue.

    The main concern is the Depth and Intensity of Impact for the Autistic, the constant sense of failure and Miscommunication. I've suggested we learn to perceive adults as their inner child and children as adults in order to Respect and attempt to understand.
