Am I on the Autism scale

I have had many discussions recently with family members that have led me to believe I might have aspergers or some type of autism. As a child, I was told I'd go days without talking.  I had to take speech classes. When other kids were playing, I would not engage. 

If there is too much activity, I get overwhelmed. Load noises sometimes cause pain. I can only handle crowds in very small doses. 

As an adult, I often don't get social nuances. I don't feel like daily life is worth discussions. Instead, I prefer to talk about specific topics. Some of these things are causing problems with work and home life. 

If anyone has a suggestions or guidance, I would greatly appreciate the help.
