In short, there's a lot of ableism, so it's important to think about what benefits you will personally receive from a formal diagnosis.

I'm not trying to dissuade you from getting one if it's something that you want to do you should go for it. I just wanted to share some info that made me think getting a formal diagnosis wasn't right for me.
