💬Autism & ADHD are just a trend... aren't they?💬

We're almost certain you've heard this topic in the news, on social media or even in passing conversation - it’s a question we hear a lot, and it often comes with misconceptions. 🧐
However, the real explanation is more meaningful and we're making it our mission to uncover the myths, raise awareness and educate. 💡🧠

Ever felt something… but couldn’t find the words? 🤨
That might be alexithymia...

🧠Alexithymia is difficulty identifying and describing feelings.
Think of it as having trouble putting words to what you feel inside.

Alexithymia can make it challenging for autistic individuals to recognise and understand their own emotions, as well as to express them to others.
This can lead to difficulties in social interactions, emotional regulation, and potentially exacerbate anxiety. 😣

It’s not about not feeling emotions - it’s about struggling to notice them or explain them clearly.

Someone with alexithymia might know they feel “something”, but finding the right word – sad, frustrated, anxious – can be hard.
They may describe feelings physically (like a tight chest or butterflies in their stomach) rather than emotionally. 🦋

For example:
• If asked “How did you feel when your favourite team lost?” they might say “Just…bad.” instead of “I felt disappointed and frustrated”.
• They may struggle to explain why they are upset, just that they are upset.
• Someone might describe feeling “overwhelmed” but not pinpoint what aspects of the situation caused it.
• They could say they feel “hot” when angry, rather than describing the anger itself.

This is common in autism and ADHD, though anyone can experience it.
It doesn’t mean someone feels less deeply, just that they process emotions differently 💡

Understanding alexithymia helps us support people to better understand their own emotional experiences. 🤝
