    Alexithymia is so common among autistic people that it is commonly mistaken for autism itself. Here I explain what alexithymia is and how it presents itself in autism. A lot of fascinating information in this post!

    But the NAR also shows high IQ is more common in autism. It seems IQ among autistic people is highly polarized. Read more here:

    We found that according to the NAR (the Dutch Autism Register) the percentage of autistics with an IQ below 70 is 7.5%. That's 3 times as much as in the general public (2.3% according to NAR), but 10 times less than often claimed.

    : What is a stim you used to do but no longer do? Why did you stop?

    We could use a lot more autistic positivity in general! Things I love about my autistic wife: - She is compassionate, understanding, and non-judgmental. - She cares a lot about people. - She is funny and bright. - She loves learning and teaching. - She makes me very happy!

    Research shows the low sociability attributed to autism is actually—at least in part—due to often co-occurring alexithymia!

    : Autustic people lack empathy. : Some of us do, but it's not due to autism but co-occurring alexithymia! (I am writing an alexithymia & autism guide with a lot of cool research-based information which will be published later today.)

    Walking is a difficult process sometimes. The corner of the table got in the way again! ☹

    I found this in the abstract of a paper: “26 adults with ASD and 26 healthy participants completed tasks…” Really quite odd use of language here, autistic vs. healthy. The implication being that autism amounts to being unhealthy.

    I was really just looking for research to substantiate the claim that hypersexuality is common in autism. I’m not sure whether to use this paper as a reference. It brings up a lot more questions I’m not sure I feel like exploring.

    “The amygdalohippocampal region has been linked to hypersexuality, transvestitism and fetishism.” “Temporal brain changes are important for the etiopathogenesis of sexual deviant behaviour.” The abstract seems to imply we are sexual deviants. Curious.

    Hey! I have a “fantastic” autism research paper for you. “Pathologies of the amygdala and the hippocampus have been argued to be critically involved in autism as well as in sadomasochism.”

    PS: To those who happen to be interested in learning more about autism, you can join the mailing list for which this masthead was designed here:

    And here is the final masthead, with a bolder weight of the typeface we always use. Much more consistent with the brand I established, and as far as I know it makes no one feel sick.

    “Eeeek that font genuinely makes me feel uncomfortable. There is something slithering about the movement in it.” “It also made me feel uncomfortable in my stomach and almost hurt my eye to brain connection, if that makes any sense.” The image below is what the comments were on.

    Some quotes from the article: “Made me feel sick just looking at it.” “I just felt really nauseous from looking at the ‘e’ 😅” “I did not like the original one. I can't explain why but it disturbed me enough that I would not read the newsletter.”

    For those who missed it, I recently used a typeface for a masthead design which made a lot of autistic people sick. Some people can’t handle the powerful vertigo-inducing curves of this typeface! Read about it here:
