Alexithymia and Emotional Challenges in Autism

Alexithymia is a condition that affects many people on the spectrum. It affects our ability to label and/or communicate about the emotions we are experiencing. 😵‍💫

After seeing a visual representation of emotional body mapping, it helped me learn how to distinguish some of my emotions more quickly. 🗺

I'm Tay, a married mom of 2 who was diagnosed with Autism at 31 years old. This was after YEARS of therapy (and all of the self tests in the world!). My diagnosis has brought up questions, frustration, doubt, but most importantly, a new level of self compassion and understanding.

I'm here to share knowledge, resources, and products that empower other neurodivergents (and their loved ones) to live freely and creatively. I'm not a doctor so please speak with your healthcare providers before implementing any recommendations I make on my channel.

Females are under-diagnosed due to lack of research. Please share any videos that are helpful to you so we can spread awareness and acceptance.
