There is no medication for Autism. The anxiety that often accompanies it can be treated, although, in my experience, it doesn't so much remove the anxiety as weaken the body so it can't do anything about it.
Actually there is, but is limited to treatment of specific symptoms. The adverse effects often outweigh the benefits.

I have taken some online diagnostic tests, and have consistently gotten the result that I am likely on the spectrum. And yes, I did generally find them accurate, though obviously they're not at all sufficient for a proper diagnosis.
Nope, no medication whatsoever. I'm wary of them. I don't want that potential to make things worse for my brain and/or body.
It was the 80's after all, had to ask.
You spoke about learning appropriate eye contact. Are there other behaviors you had to learn (unlearn) or things that you do daily to help you get along?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
