Hi - my autistic son is anxious/afraid etc will, depending on the strength of feeling :
complain, rock, run or have self-injurous behaviour. The last 2 when things get dire.
As an NT I can also get anxious, quite often about things related to my son. Some people manage to develop coping strategies, others just get more sensitive + more anxious. I think I've done both over the years but I'm a much more anxious person than I used to be. My guess is that all of us on these boards suffer from anxiety/fear, whether autistic or not, to some degree.
