What is described in the preceding paragraph is the extreme form of
allism. There are many sufferers who are more mildly affected; they may
have some capability to determine their own emotions, and are influenced
by other people's emotions to varying degrees. Sufferers describe other
people's emotions being merged with their own, creating an intermediate
emotional state, rather than completely replacing their own emotions
or being superimposed. In stressful situations, the received emotion
is more likely to temporarily overwhelm the recipient's own emotions,
provoking an immediate response based on the emotion rather than on
analytical consideration.
-------------------
The underlying trait that makes people allistic is a dysfunction of
the parts of the brain dealing with emotion. Allistic people lack the
capacity to independently experience emotions. That is not to say they
lack emotions: far from it, the allistic mind experiences emotions
just like any other. The dysfunction is that the allistic person's
emotional state is not determined by eir own thought processes but
instead is borrowed from other people that are expressing emotion nearby.
Emotional cues in tone of voice, posture, facial expression, and so on,
cause the allistic person to automatically and unavoidably experience
the same emotion being expressed.
