Got diagnosed by prosper. But I feel really weird about it

Not because of anything Prosper did, they were great.

I feel weird and uncomfortable. I thought this was what I really wanted as the label. But now that I have it, it feels a bit limiting and incorrect. I don’t know if this is internalized ableism. I am very functional as I have a lot of routines and methods as well as constant research to achieve my goals. I don’t know. It feels like the end of a journey and in a bad/weird way. It feels wrong that it’s so solid. And I dislike the label suddenly, although I self-identified as autistic for at least the last 6 months. Part of me doubts it too. Maybe I faked things in the assessment somehow?

Has anyone gone through similar feelings?
