I probably will go and see a doctor. I have no idea how to bring it up to my parents. I realise im 20, but I have no way of getting to the Docs by myself without my parents knowing. I really don't want to appear like a hypochondriac.

Right, I'm not sure where to start. Basically I think I may be on the Autism spectrum somewhere. Mum has always said she thought I may be somewhere on the spectrum, but I just sort of shrugged it off. However, after a recent search for my food pickiness it has gotten me thinking. -I struggle massively when I am taken out of my comfort zone. For instance, I recently got a new job. 8 shifts in, and I'm still nervous as hell for going to work each day. Not just a normal nervous either. A stress inducing horrible nervousness. My previous job, it took me a full year to finally rid me of this stress. -If something is planned for tonight (for example) and those plans change, and can get massively dissapointed. I can get angry and upset. -My food. Maybe my biggest symptom. I have an incredibly restrictive diet. I will only eat food that I'm used to and will not ever venture outside of my comfort zone. The thought of trying new food genuinely scares the hell out me. Colours and food texture are a massive problem for me. -I can get obsessed with things. Right now, its the gym. However it has changed over time. For instance, music. I only listen to Rap music. I do not 'understand' any other genres of music, only Rap music. -I really struggle meeting new people. I am never the first to start conversation, and I lack confidence, often lending to me saying stupid things or stumbling words when I say things. So yeah, does this sound like something I should go see a doctor with? I'm not really sure where to go. I'm 20 years old, and I've managed this far.
