That, paired with ADHD, made him a really difficult kid to grow up with, and I'm sure to parent. The ADHD was suspected when he was in Junior High, but never diagnosed until high school. I wish they would make information on these issues available, but I guess that would only proliferate the over-diagnosis that seems to be prevalent today. Coming from an older sister, make sure your other kids know what HSP is all about, because my own parents never really wanted me to know about it, or dwell on it, and it just led to me always being really annoyed at my "strange" brother. I still don't get along with him very well, and I'm 25, so I should be over it by now. We just never related growing up, and I think understanding his issues a little better could have helped that. Just an FYI... My brother is HSP, and unfortunately, this was never determined until he was a freshman in college.
