Yeah that is awful cheese, I'd suggest when you old enough that you get a diagnosis when you can. It can make you qualify for things that can help you out. Like if you were in a normal school you could get an IEP, to give you special resources at school for example.
See my parents got me a diagnosis at age 11, but I think it would help them if it was caught earlier than 11. So they could have more time working on coping skills, because it isn't that easy as Michael pointed out, especially with non-supportive parents. You can easily fall into the wrong crowds or into drugs or alcohol.
Darth I do agree, too many people are ignorant about autism, and we are put down quite a bit, we actually we have some skills that could be useful in many different job fields, yet we go largely untapped. I just hope that it will get easier to find jobs that are not minimum wage fast food or retail!
