If you had autism, what would you do with that diagnosis? There is no pill for autism.

In the end, provided you've been functional in society so far in your adult life, a diagnosis won't change _you_.

What a diagnosis can do is lead to an in-road for specific types of therapy designed to help you cope with specific symptoms and/or navigate through social life.

But that kind of therapy is not free in the US.

A diagnosis can mean accommodations, e.g. if you take a standardized test and have a diagnosis, they'll let you take it in an isolated environment.
