Anomalously high levels of sensitivities, by societal convention, are likely to be perceived as symptoms of disorders.
Organizations that will help one to "understand" such "disorders," and that will suggest "
treatments" for their "symptoms" are relatively easy to locate. Organizations that consider such symptoms
to be evidence of potential abilities (when properly managed) are few and far between. Presented below is a modified
version of the book's Appendix F - brief profiles of a few web-accessible organizations that might prove to be helpful
to those highly sensitive persons who choose to take a self-empowering approach.

Ritchey Art Photography
Web Site: www.ritcheyartphotography.com
This really isn't an ASP resource unless you happen to be an ASP who is into Fine Arts Photography. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, I was a Fine Arts Photographer. I put that interest on hold for almost 20 years while I practiced Clinical Hypnotherapy and wrote “The H.I.S.S. of the A.S.P.” As of the mid 2000s, I've gotten back into photography and would like to invite you to take a look at some of my work.
