Asensoria: Defining Specific Affective Non-Formation in Neurodivergence

Asensoria is a distinct neurodevelopmental condition characterized by the absence of specific affective simulations—complex emotional states that fail to emerge due to a lack of relational mirroring and affective modeling during early development. This phenomenon represents a structural and ontological non-formation rather than repression, trauma, or dysfunction.

The condition arises from arelational development, where the neurological architecture necessary to simulate certain social emotions remains unconstructed. These unformed affective states include:

• Feeling loved

• Feeling recognized

• Feeling protected

• Feeling proud

• Feeling vindicated

• Feeling entitled to anger or revenge

While individuals with asensoria may intellectually grasp these emotions, they lack the experiential access to them because the foundational neural and relational substrates are absent.

Asensoria transcends traditional pathological frameworks, aligning more closely with other simulation-based conditions, such as: 

• global aphantasia 
• anauralia 
• anhedonia
• and asexuality 

Each of these phenomena reflects a unique absence of internal simulation mechanisms, positioning asensoria within a broader spectrum of developmental diversity.

What distinguishes asensoria is its connection to anedra—a state of ontological omission rooted in panthropic abuse and arelationality. This omission impedes the maturation of dopaminergic-oxytocin pathways in the brain, disrupting the potential for emotional resonance and affective simulation. The resulting structural voids emphasize asensoria’s role as not merely a divergence but an independent neurodevelopmental ontology.
