Questioning if I have autism in my thirties

Does anyone else get obsessed with certain things? If I love something, I have to learn absolutely everything there is to know about it. If you showed me a 10 second clip from any episode of Buffy, I could tell you the episode title, and which series it was from. I can’t get my head around the fact that there are people who just have interests, but no obsessions. Like how do they live? Lol.

I also really struggle with social interactions. Especially if there are several people I don’t know, I get really overwhelmed and anxious. I find it hard to follow conversations when there are several going on in a room at once. I don’t know who to speak to or what to do, so am often the person sat alone. It takes me forever to feel comfortable around new 

I’m female and in the thirties and I’ve only recently realised that these are autism traits and it’s thrown me a bit. But I’m not sure if I’m just overthinking it. I know no one can diagnose me of course. I’m just wanted to see if others think it’s worth me looking into this more. I also have OCD and get distracted easily.
