Brief Answer:
Social isolation history and treatment response failure

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

The history of social isolation and difficulty establishing close relationships can be marked as the top indication for evaluation for Asperger syndrome that is part of autism spectrum disorder ASD. Another indication would be a failure to respond to treatments for generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, & PTSD.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
