Added 2016-08-26 18:05:34 +0000 UTCWhat is Alexithymia? Is Alexithymia a mental illness? What are people with Alexithymia like? Do only autistic people experience Alexithymia? Does Alexithymia apply to physical sensations as well as emotions? Answers to all of these questions and more in this episode of Ask an Autistic!
