Advice about Diagnosis

Hello,

I am looking for advice around how to start the process of getting a diagnosis of Autism. I am 26 years old and up until a year ago did not consider myself autistic. Then late last year my partner showed me some research she has been looking at, she is currently doing her dissertation on people who are self diagnosed with autism. I initially dismissed it, however a few rabbit holes later and I now am pretty sure that I am. I do not feel confident enough to self diagnose with Autism, as I feel for myself that I need the stamp of approval from a professional who knows what they are looking at. 

I have no idea where to start and the process feels overwhelming. Any advice would be appreciated.
