Anxiety and Depression

All my life due to having AS i have been picked on and bullied. I kind of get depressed because i'm usually lonely since it's hard for AS people to make friends. I also get scared of paranoid of people when I go out because I think they will make fun of me, so I try and avoid going out unless I really have too :( Does anyone else have these problems?

  • having tried all the self help books, (written for NT's) and by NT's I am wondering if anyone knows of some useful books, or papers on self help.  that is to say, not the psychodynamic approach which appears to be about searching through childhood for some past trauma to re experience but useful practical tips:) many thanks.  Additional thought, why do GP's who know nothing of AS conditions rush to 'sectioning' as a solution once presented with something they do not understand!! (frustrated by ignoranct response from GP).
