I am shy and sometimes anxious about going out in social events and I dont have a lot of friends. Some people think that means I am Asperger’s. I do not because I have met people with Asperger’s and their personal style is different. Can someone explain to me what they think the difference is between shyness and Asperger’s syndrome?
