I am having difficulty differentiating Aspergers Social Anxiety and Avoidant personality disorder because most of the symtpoms are the same to me.
I have a lot of the aspergers traits except for the fascination with numbers and patterns and I also can understand social cues and tell if someone is upset, bored, etc and I also use facial expression. but just about everything else I believe I have. And some people have mentioned to me that I can have a delayed reaction and I'm not sure if that is due to me having to proccess what happened or what.
But I do know that almost every single trait of avoidant personality disorder fits me and I also have a mild case of social anxiety. So can someone who knows help me to determine how you can differentiate these things? My phychatrist prescribed me medicine for anxiety.
