Preparation: Being prepared and having your responses ready would eliminate much of the anxiety. Ihave had clients prepare as if they were acting and they were giving a performance including emotions and eye contact which helped.

A student with : Autistic Spectrum Type 1, formerly Asperger Syndrome, who attends a publicly-funded university needs to apply for accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act at matriculation, even if he doesn't want to, in order to get changes in dorm room, educational accommodations, social support or mental health care.
