about autistic traits, but I'm under the impression that they are often linked with stronger than averadge emotional sensitivity which manifests often as pain - in various forms - and this leads to pain avoiding mechanisms such as narrowed focus, social avoidance, etc. Can't say this is much more than tentative hypothesis, but how does it resonate with your experiences and theoretical understanding?
