I dont know what to title this blog post. But it is a short one so Ill just go with that.There are a number of common comorbidities to autism and I am in the process of being evaluated for some of these. It will be a number of months before I get an actual diagnosis because thats just how backed up the system is but Ive taken the screening tests and I know my scores. That being so I have a good idea what the results are going to be.I scored very low on the ADHD test I scored right on the line between mild and moderate on the OCD screening test and I scored off the charts for alexithymia.The only one of these that surprised me at all was the OCD test but on reflection Id say thats just me being unaware. Apparently not everybody has the unending internal dialogue that I thought was normal. Fortunately my level of OCD doesnt really interfere in my daily life. At least I dont think it does.As for alexithymia when I first read the definition I knew that fit me to the nth degree. Basically alexithymia is a difficulty in discerning emotions either my own or other peoples. Ive seen it described as emotional illiteracy. I remember once telling someone that if they gave me three days I could figure out what I was feeling. Im sure that sounded crazy at the time.I experience emotions as physical things. My stomach hurts. My chest is tight. I cant quite take a full breath. Usually all I know is that Im feeling negative emotions or Im feeling positive emotions.When Anju and I were out for dinner last week* I was explaining these test results and what alexithymia is and her response was Oh yeah Dad! So it seems this is much more apparent than I ever thought it was. I hope it didnt make me a bad dad.As for discerning other peoples emotions I have these internal dialogs when Im interacting with other people that might go oh his voice is going up and hes making bigger and bigger gestures. I think hes angry. Often Ive no idea why so I just assume I did or said something in a way to make the person angry usually unintentionally.Okay thats it. Short and sweet!* This was written last month soon after I got back to Tennessee after my trip to New England
