This is an area that I'm really curious about, because anxiety has been a major issue for me. It keeps me from finishing college or maintaining a steady job, and now I have to resort to Federal aid just to buy groceries. I would say my anxiety issues are far more crippling than Asperger's Syndrome ever was.

Has anyone else encountered this? For me it's been crippling, and I hate it. I hate being afraid of people all the time.

I have a little ancieyt but not really clinically significant I guess, and it wasn't caused by school problems.
