High / Low Anxiety?

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.

Would you say autism anxiety is different to “normal” anxiety?
Or is there no such thing?xx

If that makes sense.

I would say that the constant vigilance and the uncertainty about exactly how to behave in social situations, combined with the common trait of perfectionism, that comes with autism creates anxiety.

In my opinion being autistic often creates heightened levels of anxiety, compared with allistic people, but that how anxiety manifests itself is not much different.
