- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore conditions under which university students with autistic characteristics experience alexithymia, through content analysis of their subjective emotional experiences. Twenty university students completed questionnaires including the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and the 22-item Tronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and were interviewed about their own subjective emotional experiences. The interview data were analyzed through content analysis. Results showed a correlation between autistic characteristics as assessed by the AQ and “the amount of feeling words” relevant to alexithymia. Content analysis data were subjected to multidimensional scaling for a more detailed examination of their features. The results indicated two patterns of relational isolation. The first was ambiguous or missing verbal expressions related to one's feelings. The second was insufficient verbal illustration of interpersonal relationships. These features have seldom been highlighted in research on autism spectrum disorders.
