Overcoming Severe Social Anxiety with Autism

Hey, do anyone know how to overcome severe social anxiety?. I have autism and it is hard for me to talk and answer calls without stuttering, being awkward and process what people are saying. i get really bad anxiety because of my sensory overload and shut down when something embarrassing or overwhelming happens.

Yeah same, i cant talk unless its a person in front of me. My aunt is an example. I usually consider myself pretty awkward with her cause i usually dont talk much and just answer her questions on call because nothing really happens in my life to talk about which sucks. But it gets kind of embarrasing sometimes.

For me, I just kept pushing myself outta my comfort zone one small baby step at a time. I can now answer calls by myself but I do still stutter.
