Some of the challenges of ADD, such as awkwardness in social situations, poor impulse control, etc. can lead to a person suffering from anxiety in social situations.

Yes. It could. A lot of people with a disability or a mental health issue tend and are in the frame of mind to realize that will often become embarrassed about their differences. They can even become anxious around other people and can become unsocial.
