My nephew has been found to have fragile X and I possibly may have it but I refuse to get test because there is no cure for autism/aspergers?
So what am I really looking for if there is no cure, a diagnosis? Does a diagnosis explain my life experiences better? How does another "label" help me?

The label can be either a curse or a blessing.
It can provide relief and understanding that you've seeked you're entire life and you might even be happy again, but it can just as easily make you lose faith in yourself to do things you would previously have done, had you not known.
I'm just saying be careful. Sometimes knowing does not help, it makes things worse. It might make you stop living your life, because you think you can't do something because you have autism/Asperger's. I struggle with that to this day.
