autistic pharmacist??

Ok so I'm very interested in studying pharmacy, possibly working in a hospital afterwards (long time away) but I'm worried I won't be able to cope as a hospital pharmacist. I know I would hate working community, as I often get overwhelmed in shops and on shopping trips (and then I find a quiet shop to sit down on the floor at the back lol), also the thought of trying to 'sell'/advertise anything makes me recoil, especially medicine related things for profit, I find unethical. I've also heard you don't use your degree as much in community and become a 'glorified shopkeeper' - not sure how true this is? I struggle with eye contact regarding people I don't know, and have anxiety. Also, I get scared going to the doctors, because official appointments just set off my autism in an extreme way. I've also started to become anxious in any clinical environment, mainly because I have only ever had negative experiences in these places. This might seem like I'm entirely unsuited to the job, however, I've got over much worse anxiety triggers in the past (school, though I'm scared university would set it off again). A big problem for me is if I get too overwhelmed for too long everything comes crashing down and I'm unable to do said thing for a while (e.g. ended up not going to school for a year because of something 'minor'). Reading this, you might think I'm incapable of anything, but I'm currently doing really well overcoming my anxiety. The thing is I can't gauge how working would affect me, having never had a job. Once I got used to something, it would be a lot better. I wouldn't even be going to university for a few years, despite the fact I'll be y13 in sep (have to do extra sixth form or foundation year bc grades owing to the aforementioned missed school) so the situation with the anxiety will be a lot better I hope. Basically I just wondered if there are any people on here who are autistic and studying pharmacy, to see how they can cope with all that stuff and if they think autism wouldn't be too big of a barrier to overcome in becoming a pharmacist. On a positive note, I'm good at attention to detail and chemistry and interested in drugs in particular. Contrary to popular belief, I also would like helping people to get better, even if only in a small way. Anyway, opinions please. Bad choice of career, or?
