Hyper-Empathy

Hi!

Does anyone have any experience or information on autism and hyper-empathy?

Many thanks!

  • Hi,

    For me I have developed trained hyper-empathy towards others (through books and courses) and then I have natural hyper-empathy in limited situations. I struggle with empathy when it comes to more natural things. So when I experience hyper-empathy it is very hard to manage. I am very pragmatic in general, so I’m not often affected by emotions, I think more logically. So when I feel strong emotions through empathy, they feel too strong.
