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.

Hi, do you have a reference for the claim, “issues with theory of mind often attributed to autism? That’s alexithymia.” Thanks.
Social cognition is separate to alexithymia.

I added two references, but also a reference that counters the claim, and attributes it to emotional recognition instead. Have another look if you’re interested!
