| I totally understand how easy it is to confuse AS and an anxiety disorder. I was completely convinced that I had Aspergers for a long time, but that was before I had any idea about the possibility of an anxiety disorder. I had just always felt this anxious, and I didn't realize that was what I was f... |

| Yeah, it obviously is harder for people with low iqs,Im not trying to complain, just saying that it isn't always as easy as people assume. People tend to make so many assumptions about other people, and it really drives me insane. A lot of people dislike me because of my OCD and my other quirks, but... |

| People on the spectrum can also have genius level IQ, in case you didn't know that. It is harder in some ways I think for smart people. :wink: Haha, no i definitely knew that one! I agree. Everyone always tells me I have it easy, and I know that it will be easier for me when I'm older because I wil... |

My anxiety and OCD have been flaring up the past few days, and I am freaking out! I have a few questions, and would also just like some words of ... |

| Thanks for being so accepting guys! Sorry about my profile, I had clicked that by accident, but it wont let me change it back. Anyway, I totally agree with the fact that anxiety disorder and aspergers have many symptoms in common, and there is also sort of a cause and effect thing going on. For most... |

| Who do you trust? I agree with MountainLaurel about not limiting yourself. When I was at a stage similar to you, I talked to several people - professionals, friends, and relatives. And if your mother's researching it, that doesn't mean that she thinks for sure you have it. She might suspect, or she... |

Because my psychologist would tell my parents and my parents would tell her. If I do go to my mom first, what should I say? I only have planned what to day to my psyc... |
