I don't know if this might make me have a agoraphobia but... I've just noticed how its hard for me to meltdown in public unless its something that has really pushed me over the edge. I get really panicky in most situations like a normal aspie would but... I never meltdown... I do have meltdowns on some occasion where I cry in a big fit while crouched on the floor... but its not very common because I feel like being in those unknown situations... it makes it a little difficult for me to express the amount of distress that I am in... yet when I am home, its not even much of a problem.

Is it possible that this falls under Agoraphobia?

My non-expert opinion is leaning toward no.

You might have some anxiety that is caused by something similiar to agoraphobia but it's probably better accounted for from the autism.
