nowadays autism is called ASD. there is something called high performance adult autism. if the autistic child is boderline the diagnosis can be missed in childhood. there are several cases where autism has been diagnosed at a later age. there are no medications for autism but there are lot of therapies which help autistic patients. so if you have autism there is help available, but the first and foremost question is 'do you have autism at all'. find someone in Ahmedabad who works with autism. to diagnose autism in adulthood the person must be trained enough.

Autism is a childhood onset disorder, possibly if you have it, it could have been noticed so far by your parents. What made you think you have autism? In case there are some behaviors or thinking patterns that resemble autistic thinking, in such cases you need to consult a clinical psychologist for detailed interviewing and assessment. But many professionals would probably deny your diagnosis on the basis of your age and mental status examination. It is not entirely known how autistic kids behave in adulthood and what happens to their symptoms at a later age. In case you had autism, you may have overcome a large part of it but to me it seems quite improbable that you have autism.

Beware of self-diagnosis. There are many behaviors that seem psychopathological but are normal.
