Emotional Blindness

Marjorie195

I came across the test for Alexithymia the other day. www.alexithymia.us/test-alexhtml

I scored 146. Has anyone else tried this test? There seems to be many similarities between ASD and Alexithymia.

  • Hi Marjorie195,

    I tried this test after clicking on the link you supplied, and scored 143 points, so my result is very close to yours.

    Although I am undiagnosed (awaiting DISCO), many of the questions resonated with me.  I have long recognised that I have a detached way of looking at things - I just can't see the point of emotion being involved in many decisions, and look at things with a purely logical analysis - and that's something I've always recognised in myself.

    Obviously, it is only a test, and although I'm trying not to draw any conclusions from it (at least until I get a professional diagnosis), I can see the similarities between both conditions.

    I'd never heard of Alexithymia before, so thanks for the link!
