Those recognising #autistim later in life, was there something that helped you realise?
I used to joke "I'm a bit autistic". My partner and I would note how I'm like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory, but I didn't take this seriously until..
First we broke up and I looked in depth at that relationship, how hard it was and why. That got me ready..
Then I watched #TheAccountant, it's a thriller but includes autistic characters inc the lead.
Boom! I saw my traits.

I watched #TheAccountant last night thanks to this. Thanks for the tip. Would be funny to see a version where all the violence is edited out, so it is just a guy having fun with his mathematical special interest.
In terms of books, you might want to try "So you think you're autistic: A workbook for the confused person who's just trying to figure things out"* by Samantha Stein (aka Yo Samdy Sam**)
