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.

  • Criticism has caused me SO MANY problems over the years.

    Only last week I had to dig up and move one of my early critics over to the orchard, just so the builders could complete the extension. 

    Joking aside, when they told me I was over-sensitive to criticism, I just decided to dial back on what I consider criticism, and thus became as someone put it, very thick skinned.

    Which I am right up until I can't ignore it. That is when I choose to either accept the criticism, or reach for the silver hammer I once stole from a boy called "Maxwell"....

    I also have had huge problems "mastering" humour, as dishonesty tend to throw me off balance. For those similarly afflicted, only sentence 3 and the first part of paragraph 4 and this sentence have any truth in them...
