The last time I applied for a job, I had a lot of trouble getting to that point because getting the job would mean changing my sleep patterns, doing different things than I am used to, having to move. A whole big mess of change all at once. Very frustrating and nerve-wracking. Once I get into the pattern of job searching, the anxiety over the idea of a new job goes way down.

The good thing about routine is that you can get into a good rhythm with what you're doing, then when some part of that routine changes it does upset the whole flow of everything. Things kind of go a bit chaotic for a while but then they settle down again and rhythm can once again be restored. Change does stress some people out but I know plenty of NT's who have difficulties with it too. I think it might just be normal.

Some people may have difficulties in adjusting, I had major difficulties in adjusting through adolescence and I still don't recognise myself as being an adult. But again I don't think that's an issue exclusive only to autism.
