Thanks again for this thorough analysis of how alexythimia needs to be addressed as a separate, co-occurring condition of both autistic and non-autistic persons. I can relate to your experience of easily absorbing other people’s emotions while not being able able to accurately identify my own emotions. And I like the guideline mentioned in the article of “giving autistic persons time and space to process complex emotions.”
