not “autistic enough”?

Question

i’m speaking with a therapist and plan to get an autism assessment done once i have enough money. i’m 22 and fenale and i think getting assessed could make me feel better about myself. i’ve always been super hard on myself and i feel like if i get assessed and diagnosed, it’ll feel like a relief. finally some way to explain why ive never felt like everyone else

but honestly i feel like a fraud. i’ve coped for this long and i dont struggle every single day with things so i feel like im not “autistic enough”. i know its silly but can anyone else relate or have any advice?
