Seeking Evaluation for Possible Autism

I was recently recommended by my doctor to see a psychiatrist to get evaluated for possible mild form of autism. I'm not really sure how to feel about it though I feel like it may actually explain why i do some of the things I do.

I'd say go for it but take it slow. Even if you get a diagnosis that doesn't mean that everything is going to change. You're still the same person and you don't have to tell the entire world until you're ready and have taken the time to process and find out what having the diagnosis means to you. And if you don't get diagnosed, I feel that it's better to try and find out you're not than to not and wish you had years down the line.
