I would think that the stresses of being Aspie are likely to lead to

such a fear of failure in many areas of life. Not understanding the

" hidden curriculum " of life, it is easy for the Aspie to err in their

judgment. Also, being misunderstood throughout life can easily lead to

the inability to relax, for fear of making yet another faux pas.
