Hi. I have a lot of problems with anxiety and can really relate to the things on your list. I have found that reading books about Autism has helped me understand and move towards accepting anxiety. I also manage my Autistic needs which I hope will reduce my anxiety.
I also have found supportive counselling has helped. I didn't find CBT has helped me long term, though I understand CBT with an autisim slant can be helpful in some people.
I also find that when I am in autistic burnout, that my anxiety becomes much more of a problem and I wonder if this might be the case for you related to all the Big Things going on for you.
Take care
I definately have burn out thanks for your kind words.I have a fantastic GP and Psychiatrist and i am sure when my big matters resolve I can't start too dry less about the small things.
