Social anxiety, which I think could be the result of AS, and it's pretty bad. I think I show it when I really don't want to. When I get anxious, I get all fidgety and these little tics come up (running my hand through my hair, cracking my knuckles one at a time, twirling a pencil, etc.). You can tell when I'm really anxious because I'll start laughing randomly, make little to no eye contact, and when I ultimately go into "reboot mode", in which I shut down, regenerate enough to continue, while looking for a way out of the situation.

It might be possible for me to have other things, especially since mental illness runs rampant in my mom's family.

(This is an update)

For me, I've found out that aside from having an autistic disorder and ADHD that I have extremely severe anxiety that stems from Autism and ADHD. I also have developmental delays and a learning disability as well as trouble controlling my emotions and being able to process things. I have trouble with hearing in... my right ear I think? Which i believe to be a cause of numerous ear infections as a child. I can't stand for long periods of time and there also times when my processing difficulties make it hard for me to follow directions like everyone else does. I also don't deal with stress very well which has always seemed to be a huge issue for me as well.

So yeah... just more problems I really don't think i need.
