I'm talking about being able to name feelings and tie meaning to them and interpret them in a neurotypical framework, not feeling feelings.

For example, i just watched a video with a girl who mistook her anxiety symptoms for arousal. She felt feelings, she was just unable to name which feeling it was or tell you what it meant in the context of the social situation. That's actually not that uncommon. Sometimes you think you're nervous, but it turns out your excited, or sometimes it goes the other way around.

Ah, gotcha. That does make a bit more sense, if that's the case for her.
