Hi all, After a chat I had with someone through the private messaging system and hearing that this phenomenon gave them some more clarity on what had happened in their relationship with an avoidant, I decided to share this with you all in hopes that it will do the same. While this post seems to be focused mainly on a number of disorders, I think the actual behaviour and repercussions are relatable enough to be of interest to people that have been through an emotional roller-coaster with an avoidant, which is why I'll be posting this in both the DA and FA forums. thrivingisthegoal.com/2014/09/19/affective-deprivation-disorder-alexithymia-and-high-functioning-autism-in-marriage/

This is a great article thank you - I am HFA and do not have alexithymia although I would describe myself as much less emotional than your average person. My ex who at the time seemed to me to be on the autistic spectrum, did have alexithymia - emotional states played out in physical symptoms for him and even physically he often found it difficult to locate feelings in his body. Meditation helped alot but nowadays he's reverted to the red wine therapy which I would suspect is not particularly useful in the long term.
