Thank you Moog I don't think I am alexithymic......in fact I think I am very emotionally articulate and expressive. Never short of a word to convey my inner-world. However, I know that I seem to do everything systematically, and I guess that extends in some way to all areas of my thinking and living...

I guess what I mean by systemizing emotions is trying to figure out them out in a very anyalitical way in order to manke sense of them. I spend so much of my time trying to be human rather than allowing myself to be human. Of late I have accepted this is just how I am and part of the package of HFA.

I am interested in the many ways people in the
spectrum use systems.

For example.....do you use systems for your
emotions or empathy?

Do you use systems to organize yourself generally
in day to day life?

How does systemizing help you?

I agree with League girl.

Most apsies I know are very irrational and prone to OCD and emotional reasoning.

I think AS is very paradoxical......very irational and rational at the same time.

Many people with PTSD suffer with extreme sensory issues. After years of believing all my difficulties were from growing up in extremely abusive home. It was a revelation to understand and consequently be Dx with HFA later in life. I have the traumatised child within me that says in times of great d...

The nervious system of one who has suffered abuse mimics near perfectly the nervous system of many in the spectrum.

There are many people with AS who have suffered horrendous abuse and have Complex PTSD (Google it as it has now been recognised as different from PTSD.

I am really grateful and so pleased that this thread is still interesting people enough to respond. I started it because I feel acutely the alienation and loneliness of being in-between the autistic and non-autistic worlds. My ability to read and understand others is extremely advanced yet is in suc...

thank you Parrow Yes, C-PTSD fits very well. After years of specialist treatment, healing and recovery, I have come to the conclusion I will never be free of the pain of the past. However, these days I am aware that I can hold my wounds in a way that they can cease to become toxic over me or others....

My most formative earliest years were spent in an orphanage and mental institution, and then was adopted by parents who every day of my life told me I was odd, starange, insane and ret*d. I have spent many many years coming to terms with...
