I'm thinking of going in to a career associated with my special interests. One of my special interests is in human health so I'm thinking about becoming a nurse or another of my interests relating to mortuary science so I'm thinking I could study and become a mortuary assistant.
Both of these careers are rewarding and extremely interesting to me. But as usual I worry about it, mostly because of my Autism, it causes me to overthink and get overwhelmed easily and I'm worried because of that I won't be able to do this.
Would appreciate your thoughts on this and own experiences if you've worked in this or similar.

I expect this will require a level of medical training and a very strong stomach - have you both of these?
There are some decent guides online:

One possible challange for autists may be dealing with people coming to identify the deceased. Emotions can be strong and unpredictable.
