The connection between Mind and Body in Autism.
Autistic adults generally embody their feelings and are unable to externalize them, a condition called Alexithymia.
The most recognizable sign of Alexithymia is Rumination, a form of anxiety characterized by body-language in the struggle to communicate internal discomfort.
Subjects may assume a Speaking Posture just to shutdown seconds later.
Rumination is more likely than Meltdown in autistic adults, if not more painful.
The Body/Mind connection
The majority of adult autistics process emotions primarily physically.
Muscle spasms, hypertension, to mention some.
Alexithymia either prevents verbalization of emotions or conveys mismatched messages, causing friction towards the unaware neurotypical.
This is due to the high expectations for conformity conflicting with Masking.
The sufferer can’t recognize their internal emotions, a process referred to as Interoception. An example would be feeling hungry instead of thirsty.
This is possibly the darkest scenario in Autism, moreover the hardest to predict for humans.
AI Medicine
AI has now entered every field of life, Medicine nevertheless.
Regardless of the different applications, the universal mantra is “AI will arrive wherever Humankind will not”, the greatest misconception to date, given the fact that humans created AI.
Current AI models can’t “synthesize” internal body-data.
AI models work perfectly in processing external data only.
To say, AI would describe a sequence of dots representing a man as a constellation.
In lay words, it can’t be used in recognizing emotions in Alexithymia.
We can compare AI lack of Internal Embodiment with Autistic Internal Embodiment, to conclude that AI poses serious danger in Autism as of today, by consolidating delusional External Embodiment.
