High / Low Anxiety?

AutisticBeaut2025

Hi Everyone!

Just read a small number of posts in regards to those of you who suffer from Anxiety and I was just wondering if I could get an overall idea of how many of you suffer from it, whether its high or low. Does it play a small or big part in your autism diagnosis? I'm just curious. If you could help me then that would be great.

Many Thanks.

    I have anxiety but like many probably have just taken it as part of being Autistic in an NT world , so haven't bothered to get a diagnosis. 

    I had Talking Therapies for social anxiety and the weekly scores changed a little but were in the mid to high range, and I asked my therapist should I get a diagnosis to which she said "what difference would it make?" I couldn't think of a good answer to that

    It's not like Autism and ADHD where I felt a diagnosis was needed and beneficial.

    Anxiety is not part of the diagnosis as far as I know ? but as Bunny said it's sadly very common because of the world we live in
