I have both autism and sociopathy. I was extremely empathic and bawled when I accidentally stepped on a frog as a kid. Went through some severe isolation and when I was finally reintroduced socially I was chronically bullied and picked on. Zero empathy, very Machiavellian, arrogant, fearless yet symptoms of anxiety when around people but it has zero impact on thoughts or behavior and is more of annoying physical symptoms than anything. As for alexithymia no, I know exactly what I feel and I feel intensely but just only a few things. Anger stress anxiety disgust pride. That’s like it.

This is such an important difference, Alexithymia is a bit hard to grasp.
Thanks

Do you know any other source about these differences? I just recently realized both me and my grown up son might have alexithymia and I'm trying to grasp this.
My son believes he is a psychopath, I know he isn't. I am so sorry for him believing this unnecessarily.
