Aspergers isnt social anxiety, but some people will self diagnose the wrong symptoms. They are completely different conditions. Someone with aspergers will be unable to use nonverbal communication or relate to others while someone with social anxiety may be able to do those things but are anxious in social settings. Many people with aspergers are actually very social but dont understand what is approperiate and are unable to put themselves in other people situations. Also aspergers causes sensory problems, poor motor skills, trouble understanding emotions, and obsessive interests.
