Recently I've been very confused about social anxiety and autism. I was diagnosed with autism when I was 17 and it was a huge part of my life. Well I also have paranoid schizophrenia, depression and anxiety. But those are closely related to autism, well not sure about the schizophrenia. But I notice I also show a lot of signs that someone with social anxiety shows. For example I can't be in any group of people without feeling awkward. I am seldom comfortable with anyone. I also get extremely jittery when I'm under a stressful social situation. I extremely hate when people look at me, I get even worse when they look me in the eye. There is a lot of signals I've been seeing, I'm just wondering if autism has social anxiety with it.

Those disorders and symptoms over lap, meaning with autism, you can experience them. You know what you are experiencing and be sure to discuss this with your therapist.
