I'm currently studying anxiety as the topic of my undergraduate thesis and he's certainly right that learning plays a large part in the development and maintenance of anxiety. Although I'd like to see him investigate if these learning problems are exclusive to people with anxiety and not something more broad such as chronic stress.
The article isn't perfect (one could remove about 50% of it and still retain the data), but the conclusion is interesting. For the last three years or so I've been battling with anxiety, and the...
The article isn't perfect (one could remove about 50% of it and still retain the data), but the conclusion is interesting. For the last three years or so I've been battling with anxiety, and the proposition explains some of the things I experienced well, including how making decisions with pen and paper instead of just in your head seems to reduce anxiety significantly.

It's interesting, but I found the author's mention of cholesterol level instructive.
It seems serum cholesterol level is a surrogate marker, or symptom, of an underlying cardiovascular disease process; it's not causative. You can reduce cholesterol levels with drug treatment and dietary cholesterol reduction in isolation, but modifying that marker alone doesn't change cardiovascular disease outcomes.
Likewise, it's too early to tell if a learning disorder is a cause of, or a product of, anxiety.
