Do you think that if there were more awareness of SA it would make life easier for you?
It seems there has been a lot of awareness of other 'behavioural problems' in recent times, for example, if you mention 'OCD' to almost anyone, the chances are they will know a little bit about the condition and how it affects people, without having to explain what the abbreviation means. But mention Social Anxiety and you tend to get blank faces. The classic response I got recently (and have had numerous times in the past) was "Ok, but I think we all get nervous and anxious now and again". It just makes me give up trying to explain.
