Hi! I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences as me. I had these kinds of problem throughout my life. I panic in certain situations when I am with people. This mainly happens when people say/do things that I didn't expect. Like for example, if a friend says something that I wasn't expecting, and creates a situation in which I hadn't ever handled before, I panic. This also happened when someone yelled at me, when I wasn't expected to get yelled at. My heart starts racing, my chest feels weird, I am restless, I can't concentrate, and my mind shuts down. Then I just have this feeling/think about this for perhaps a day, days, or weeks. Perhaps, it is because, I don't know how to handle the situation. Is this a problem associated with Aspergers/Autism, anxiety, or both?
