Benefits of diagnosis

Hi. I'm a 39 year old female, married with 3 children and a professional job. With the increased awareness generally of autism, a couple of people pointed out to me that I may be on the spectrum. When reading about it, everything made sense and I'm feeling pretty annoyed no one noticed it during my childhood as it was tough! 

I'm getting on OK now but have some mental health problems and obviously don't deal well with social situations.

I'm wondering if there's any point in going for a diagnosis now and if that would really make any difference to my life.
