Recently diagnosed at 29, seeking advice.

Hey everyone, finally come to the end of the two year process and I've received my ASD diagnosis. 

The main thing that's been going over in my head is wanting to get back in touch with people, mainly an ex partner (It's been two years since we broke up and about 5 months since I've looked at a photo on social media and toyed with the idea, the diagnosis has brought back the urge to do so). Does anybody, after a diagnosis feel as though they owe it to people, even though they have clearly hurt you (their behaviour being explained by other people so I could understand it at the time) and you believe you're looking back on things with rose tinted glasses.

Part of me thinks that I should but is immediately weary of getting hurt even more and another part thinks that I shouldn't use my diagnosis as a way to justify other peoples behaviour towards me.

Sorry if this is a little bit rambly.
