The Alexithymia Split

Autism splits into two empathy profiles, and confusing them has caused decades of harm. One profile — hyper-empathic AuDHD — feels everything at full volume and has no alexithymia whatsoever. The other carries co-occurring alexithymia: the feelings exist, but the signal never reaches awareness. Narcissistic organization belongs to the second profile's story, not the first's. This explainer draws the line clearly — so the hyper-empathic stop being called narcissists, and the alexithymic stop being missed. ▶ Listen to the full deep-dive podcast:    • Alexithymia, Narcissism and Autistic Empathy   Educational content only — not medical or psychological advice. #Alexithymia #Autism #AuDHD
