After taking many online quizzes I've decided to rule in or out a diagnosis.
Counselor had me fill out the GADS and a couple of other questionnaire. Because of my age he is consulting with his colleagues before completing the process.
Who if any to tell is running around my brain.
If I qualify my clinician said I would fall under the ADA.

me... Still too old to know it all

He wants to get formally diagnosed. He believes an autism diagnosis falls under the Americans with Disabilities Act--which means he can't get fired because he has autism, and can't be discriminated against in general.

That's the sort of thing I went through and am doing the same. I wish you good luck on finding an answer.
