I'm not a nurse, but I definitely wouldn't assume you were autistic based on being able to accept a terminal diagnosis. That isn't in itself a sign of autism. There are many reasons you might be accepting, from religious beliefs if you have any to being in shock to just being very mentally healthy and resilient.

In any case, it is a good thing. 

Signs of autism include having sensory difficulties, such as being unable to eat certain foods or wear certain clothes or being unable to concentrate in loud, busy environments, taking things very literally, such as idioms or rules, not always "getting" social rules that seem obvious to others, having "splinter skills," like having far greater differences between what you are good at and what you are bad at than most people, liking routine, clumsiness, stomach problems, fidgeting a lot...

Autistic people can react very differently to NTs to major events, either being more or less upset, but being more or less upset about one thing doesn't in itself indicate you are more likely to be autistic.
