The DSM-IV criteria stated that an individual cannot receive a diagnosis of social anxiety disorder if their symptoms are better accounted for by one of the autism spectrum disorders such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
People with social anxiety disorder (sometimes called âsocial phobiaâ) have a marked fear of social or performance situations in which they expect to feel embarrassed, judged, rejected, or fearful of offending others. Evaluation for an anxiety disorder often begins with a visit to a primary care provider.
