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 always had intermittent anxiety, sometimes related to aspects of my autism, sometimes related to PTSD, sometimes for no clear reason at all. There are meds that help but they are hard to get legally (and I won’t buy illegally as theres no certainty what you are getting). 

    I think a distinction needs to be made between anxiety and panic, the latter having symptoms which very physical, whereas anxiety for me is clearly a head scrambling bunch of negative emotions
