Anxiety: You likely has specific phobia about driving. Cognitive behavior therapy would be helpful for this condition. Certain medications can also be used in consultation with a psychiatrist

Asperger's: Driving can be pretty scary if you think you are in control of all the other people who are around you. This is common with aspies. The idea is to realize that you are only in control of yourself. I would suggest you chat with a psychologist who could coach you through some cbt strategies.
