Apparently autism predisposes one to psychotic disorders. There is a slightly higher risk of developing schizophrenia. A psychiatrist who specializes in ASD told me this.

Do you have any other psychotic symptoms?

OCD and anxiety can cause worries like the ones you have described. It is possible that your autism may be the reason behind them, since recurrent thoughts are very common in this cognitive style. Could the thoughts be related to heightened senses, such as hearing?
