Anxiety over starting work?

First you need to start with your psychiatrist. Allow him to help you and to form a treatment therapy. You will never go back to where you were if you are on the right meds. There are many people with autism and many different forms of it. You are right about starting something new.It does cause a lot of anxiety. Do not start anything until you are ready. When you are ready you will find something just where your talents and abilities are needed.
