[quote=Anonymous]She interiorizes her profound anxiety, OP. While not quite at her level (I drive, etc), I am like her. I suspect I'm on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum, and I've been diagnosed with anxiety disorder and panic disorder due to my nightime panic attacks (which make me feel like I'm dying of a heart attack, but again, you wouldn't notice much - I don't scream or cry or anything). I'm not sure there's anything you can do to help. She will only do something extra unless her life, or a loved one's life depends on it, because otherwise in her daily life, the pros for her do not outweigh the cons. It's extremely challenging to overcome such deep-seated anxiety. Therapy and meds are often insufficient. I've tried both. [/quote]
