  • I am not a professional to give you advice.  But a good Occupational therapy will tell you things you could do to cope with the sensory overload.  If you got good Occupational therapy when you were young, you would be able to cope better.  But I think still there are many ways you can find to cope the sensory overload.

    Sensory Perceptual Issues in Autism and Asperger Syndrome: Different Sensory Experiences - Different Perceptual Worlds


    If you can find a job and live your own, I don't know it is important to get the label.  But you may get some benefit, if you get a diagnosis.
