alexithymia's links to sexuality are super interesting!! same with the link between ADHD and hypo- or hypersexuality. am i asexual or is my brain just fucky. is there a difference
@hazel woah, first im hearing of alexithymia. always fun to find another thing I have haha
@RosaSweetThing i had a similar reaction when i first heard of it lol. hope the realisation is helpful 
@RosaSweetThing if nothing else, it's a super cool word
@hazel very helpful, thank you!!
@hazel Huh! This resonates more than xi expected. Definitely have a hunger/anxiety conflation issue.
@hazel I hope I can become better at understanding my feelings, it gives me some hope but fuck transition didn’t help me on that matter and I wish it did
@hazel btw there are several links and videos in the article, do you think you could add them somehow? for ex, I can’t find the video by Autistic Callum on Youtube, there’s too many and the keyword «emotions» doesn’t help
@hazel Another day, another "symptom of autism" demonstrated to actually be garden variety trauma inflicted by neurotypicals...
@hazel Only read through the intro so far but girl howdy does this resonate, especially after starting xir transition.
