Why do you care?: This question will lead nowhere. High functioning autism is a continuum and since there's no magic pill to make it go away, there's not much point in acquiring a label as an adult. Why not ask instead, "How can I make the best use of my intellectual gifts, my ability to focus, improve my social skills, learn to read people and talk to them better, choose activities I'm good at, & be happy?"

If you have problems: in everyday reciprocal social interactions that harmfully impact your functioning at work & home, with poor conversational skills, monotonous speech & inability to understand that (not why) other people may not think what you think, feel how you feel, or want to do what you want them to do, seek referral from your PCP to a psychiatrist & neuropsychologist for diagnostic evaluations.
