Living with Anxiety Disorder and Aspergers

[Rev. Rye]

I've been going through some psychiatric help myself; I'm on the autism spectrum (professionally diagnosed, I might add) and was bullied as a child, and, in the years since, I've been suffering flashbacks (Which I think may be representations of PTSD) and depression. The depression has been professionally diagnosed. My therapist doesn't deny that I may have PTSD, but she is quick to note that I often get anxiety attacks over other things, like a teacher repeating herself for three weeks in a row, so she has diagnosed me with something called "Adjustment disorder."
