There is no test for finding out you have autism but if I were you I'd go to the internet get facts on autism and then try to notice the way you act and start going to a spcialist and then wait for the results and start knowing you have this disorder and start to exept your-self.
P.S.
This worked for me when I found out I was autistic.

Autism is a neurological disorder that affects development, particularly language development and social development. It can also be marked by sensory issues. You can find a psychologist who is familiar with autism to administer the testing, however at 45 I would wonder why you would want to go to the expense? Insurance generally DOESN'T cover testing and treatments for autism. I also question if you have autism...it doesn't sound like it to me. Check with your doctor to be sure though.

There is no particular test for autism. You can be diagnosed by a psychiatrist or a neurologist based on symptoms. I would go to your general dr. and get a referral to a specialist. Good luck to you.

I would suggest that you seek professional help. Maybe a Psychiatrist.

Please go to the doctor.
There are plenty of other reasons why you would have these symptoms, and I'm not convinced that any of them point to autism.
