A few years ago I read an article posted here--> wrongplanet (DOT) net/allarticles.html (I'm 70% sure it was there and not elsewhere on wrongplanet) that described a certain variety of aspergers some on the spectrum have. If you have it you may have difficulty deciding how you feel about things (like it, hate it, in between) and you have difficulty reading your own emotions. This resonated with me personally, I think I may have something along the lines of it and I'm trying to find the article. If you remember the article and can find it, please send me a link. Also if anyone knows the name of this condition or any other articles on it I would be interested in reading that as well.

Thanks!

Putting the word "Alexithymia" in the "Google Custom Search" box at the top of this page and clicking on "Search" yielded over ten pages of links to posts and threads on this website alone. Here are two from the first page alone:
