If you are reluctant to get a formal diagnosis, I would delay if I could.

The stigma of an official diagnosis may not be something that can be undone.

It would perhaps be best to get as much information as you can so that if you have to make a decision you can make it with knowing the advantages and disadvantages both short and long term.

Consider some of the Tony Attwood videos on youtube. Also there is a free pdf booklet here;

Sounds rather like high-functioning autism (HFA).
