How do I know if I'm autistic?

I'm 21 years old and I've struggled my entire life. I can't do the simplest tasks I am asked to do. I learn much slower than everyone of my peers, if I retain any information at all. Is there some type of test I could take to see if I have any type autism ar asperger's disease?

These are not the signs of autism. Given your literacy skills I would assume your intellect is in the average range.  However it is possible that your cognition is on the lower side of the average range which results in this type of challenge.  You or your parents can pay for a psycho-educational evaluation from a psychologist to determine exactly what the problem is.
