Escher,
Yes, I would agree that there is a lot out there. I also purchased a book about the gifted adult, "The Gifted Adult: A Revolutionary Guide for Liberateing Everyday Genius" by Mary-Elaine Jacobsen, which seems to be similar to others about high sensitivity traits. It's by my bedside with a ton of other stuff I want to read someday. I also have two books on procrastination there which I haven't read. How ironic is that? (I admit, my addiction is buying books, drives my husband crazy.) Good for you for going through the library. Much smarter!When you were looking for books on highly sensitive children, did you find Elaine Aron's "The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive when the World Overwhelms You"? This an *excellent* book for reframing the trait of sensitivity into a strength and a gift rather than a weakness that society seems to view it as. I believe she also wrote a book about parenting the highly sensitive child.
I highly recommend Elaine Aron's books. "The Highly Sensitive Person" feels like the book of "me".
Take care,
gg
