52. Agoraphobia

Agoraphobia results from the AS's heightened sensitivity, combined with close observation and the speed with which they detect the slightest changes and movements. Every detail thus becomes perceptible. Dopamine and the concept of salience can alter the recording of memories in the brain, making the spider seem increasingly large and frightening. Psychotherapy can help alleviate this anxiety-provoking effect and correct the memory process.
