| As far as I know, NVLD is its own disorder, but is strongly associated with Asperger's syndrome, even more than with HFA.

| Hi. I was diagnosed with ASD recently after suspecting it for a long time. I have always been anxious and have always self-medicated with alcohol but I have always hoped it would some day be cured. Now I am starting to think that the anxiety is here to stay. Learning about AS and anxiety, well, it ... |
