Trying to figure out something...

Not sure if this should go into the Psychological forum or this one, so if it is in the wrong forum please move it.

Anyway, I've been trying to think back to my past to figure out if I had any AS symptoms. It's been difficult because I've mostly forgot/made up stuff to cover up my past because of family issues. I've been going back and looking at old photos albums my mom had to try and force memories, but that has been causing me bad nightmares and flash backs.
But one thing I do remember is having extremely bad separation issues. When I stayed with my grandmother during holidays and summer break and it was time for me to leave, I remember having bad anxiety attacks and avoiding everyone for a couple of weeks when I got back home.
For those couple of weeks I would always have nightmares, cry, have more anxiety attacks, etc.
Changes would also throw me into panic attacks. I know I moved a lot when I was young and when to different schools, but remembering back to when I was moving around is difficult cause it feels like I'm hitting a mental wall. In fact most of the stuff from the age of 13 and back is hard to recall or not recalled at all.

Anyway, is having extreme separation issues a common thing with Aspies?

I personally never had problems with seperation anxiety, however as a kid, we were military and moved frequently and this REALLY caused me stress...
