How to differentiate between anxiety and ASD?
Hi all
For a while now I’ve been really confused about whether I am someone on the spectrum or whether I just have really bad social anxiety. I have always struggled with communicating with people and how people can so easily talk to and make friends. I believe I am very sensitive to people’s moods and bodily gestures and tone of voice, but struggle with things like sarcasm and do feel as if I am subconsciously monitoring myself in social interactions to give the ‘correct’ responses. I constantly worry about whether I am saying the right thing, how I come across, whether I will be rejected, etc. I know there is a lot of overlap between the two conditions and I was wondering if anyone had any advice or suggestions or had a similar experience? TIA :)
