A non-disease?: Asperger's is being dropped as a diagnosis among most mainstream physicians. The focused mind's a gift if wisely used. The real question is whether you can learn to do something that's harder for you than most other people -- read other folks, relate to them, interact more easily and naturally. This can be taught by today's methods -- and who wants a diagnosis of a mental illness?

Mild autism: There's no pill / cure so whether it's even worth diagnosing is moot. Get help with social skills that others learn naturally. Choose a strength / endurance sport rather than a team / coordination sport. Your mind focuses amazingly; choose science / tech rather than comics / train schedules and you'll go far. If you're good with being single / along, you're very fortunate. Best wishes.
