Worried that I might be told I’m not autistic

Now I know this sounds stupid, but I’m apprehensive about seeking a diagnosis, partly because I might be told I don’t have autism. I’m not sure where that would leave me. I guess it would just make me a bit of a weirdo, who has no real reason to find certain things so difficult.

 I don’t feel 100% sure I have autism, but I’m questioning. I took the AQ test and scored 30, so not super low but not super high either. I’m not sure what the purpose to this post is, I’m just torn on what to do.

    thing is if your not on the spectrum they could direct you to something else you may have instead perhaps... if thats how it works.... my GP told me that they do discuss what other things you may have and try to direct you to the right place if it does come up negative. so they made out that either way you will get the help you seek... but then again reality never does go as smoothly as people say.
