Hello everyone I’ve always had some difficulties with understanding some of my emotions I know when it’s super obvious like if I’m laughing my head off about something but I keep thinking about my autism assessment I was asked several times what I was feeling or how I felt about something and I couldn’t really answer properly does anyone else suffer with this sort of thing is it to do with my autism?
I don’t understand most of my emotions, I understand only a few
Hi Kate, I don't know if this might help. I'm looking at the physiological traits that emotions can cause:

Thank you. I’ll have a look
These physiological traits don’t help with the actual emotion but might at least help you label them. Although having said that I’ve identified that when I’m angry I clench my jaw or grit my teeth together and so when I realise I’m doing that I try to relax my mouth, perhaps that then helps me relax my body which in turns releases some of that anger...hmmm I’m not sure.
