anxiety <\/a>is also commonly a symptom of Asperger\u2019s. This is not only a side effect of many of the other symptoms, but may also be a direct symptom.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAs mentioned, one possible explanation for the reason that those with AS will avoid direct eye contact is that they experience over-excitation. In other words, just a little stimulation causes an overwhelming and unpleasant amount of stimulation for those with AS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a similar manner, it may well be that a range of other scenarios could trigger similar levels of activation throughout the brain. For instance, being in public spaces, hearing loud noises, and a range of other scenarios might leave someone with Asperger\u2019s Syndrome feeling overwhelmed and anxious.
It\u2019s also worth noting that those with AS are upset by things like changes to their normal routine \u2013 which are unavoidable parts of daily life for most people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
