A member asked:

Help please. could asperger's syndrome cause one to fake panic attacks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety: While anyone can fake an anxiety attack, people with aspergers have an underlying high anxiety state. They are less likely to fake an anxiety attack than have an anxiety attack in a stressful situation.
