I agree with Dinah, I'd get a second opinion. I don't know how old you are, but based on your writing style and skills, I don't see some of the hallmarks. (except reaching out through a web chat instead of in real life, but there are LOTS of reasons for that, now aren't there?)
A Developmental Pediatrician might be a good option as well. If the diagnosis sticks, it does open some doors for services, depending on where you are and your level of functioning.
Remember it is just a word, a descriptive picture. It isn't your name, or your identity. Don't let it it throw you. Play to your strengths and keep working on what you want to improve.
