Not sure if that would have changed anything. I really don't like this "you don't need to know what exactly is your problem" attitude, that often comes from psychologists. But that would be a long rant. Here are some hypothetical benefits from knowing that you have a specific diagnosis X, whether autism or anything else: - maybe you could apply for disability benefits (probably not, but at least you would know what exactly to ask); - you could find a support group for people with X; - you could exchange information (in the support group or online) about what helps or what hurts people with the same problem; - you could read scientific research or popular books, ask an expert by e-mail, etc.; - you could find out the chance that your kids get X, how to find out whether that is the case, and how to help them.
