People with Alexithymia DO NOT suffer from a "lack of emotion", this is actually a really harmful generalisation.
It is a difficulty in recognising and/or communicating said emotions to others, but it certainly doesn't mean that we do not experience them. In fact, some people with Alexithymia might experience very strong emotions, which only makes the difficulty to communicate about them or pin-point them to ourselves, that much more difficult. Furthermore, Alexithymia can also manifest as a difficulty recognising physical symptoms or body signals (such as hunger, needing to go to the bathroom, etc).

This video mentions alexithymia as being a reason they can't express their feelings to their parents, but I have a feeling that their parents are most likely a cause of their alexithymia in the first place. I have trouble believing all these problems are simply 'imbalances' of the brain. That just seems like a convenient excuse to let parents off the hook. Of course medical 'professionals' will skew towards blaming genetics and imbalances, when it is the parents who pay the bills for their services.
