It is a common trait with autism but there’s no direct link, my guess you’re hyper aware a lot of the time anyways and that’s what bare bones anxiety is

a lot of behaviors that would be an anxiety disorder (extreme otherthinking or overpreparing, catastrophizing) in a neurotypical are a pretty logical response to living with neurodiversity because we actually do consistently get screwed over for being ourselves or being unfamiliar with a system. you can’t really therapize or cope or medicate your way out of anxiety if your fears are pretty rational for your circumstances. the difference for autistics is probably in how debilitating it is

I think it’s very very common cause we think about so many details than cause stress and anxiety, that being said I also have both autism and anxiety diagnosis sooo
