97 A client working in accounting field with HFASD tells: “I encounter difficulty in proceeding with a task unless all the necessary documents are in order. I prefer to hold off on one task until it is fully completed with all the required documents before moving on to another file.” A mother who just found out about his son having HFASD shared: “He has a preference for wearing older clothing and is reluctant to part with them, even if they are torn. He consistently requests his parents to find replacements, insisting on the same brand. He hoarded many childhood stuffs and refused to give away.” The examples above illustrate sensory issues related to texture, touches, fragrance, and visual effects that could cause disturbance if not adequately addressed or fulfilled. Consequently, individuals with HFASD are often perceived as 'overly demanding' or 'acting up unnecessarily.' Their heightened sensitivity to sensory input means unfulfilled demands can significantly disturb them, leading to increased psychological distress and potentially impacting their performance at work, school, and within the family. However, this characteristic can be a strength for individual with HFASD working as artist in seeking for perfectionism in their art piece. Their attention to detail, focus on perfectionism, and unique perspective may contribute to the creation of exceptional and finely crafted art pieces. This dedication to precision and the ability to see things from a distinct viewpoint can set their work apart, showcasing the positive aspects of their neurodiversity in the field of art.
