A Network Analysis of Alexithymia, Interoception, Empathy, Self‐Awareness and Psychopathological Symptoms in Young People With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Overview
This study uses network analysis to examine the interrelationships between alexithymia, interoception, empathy, self-awareness, and psychopathological symptoms in 208 young adults with ASD. The authors identify difficulty describing feelings, interoceptive awareness, anxiety, and depressive symptoms as central nodes within this symptom network. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in the structural connections between these specific constructs in autistic populations.
