Hello 88424, Ben here,
I'm afraid the only people who can answer your questions accurately are psychologists. You are describing anxiety, the most common symptom of autism... just ask anyone on the forum. However, the thing is, there are many many other conditions that can cause similar symptoms and difficulties, so you really need to see about getting an appointment. Talking to your GP is usually the first step. Book an appointment and think about how you are going to describe your symptoms, make some notes..... once you're there it's easy to get tongue-tied and leave out something important, so keep your notepad with you.
I really think that that's the next step... give it a try; you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Look after yourself and book that appointment.
I wish you well.
Ben
