Questioning if I'm Neurodivergent and on the Spectrum

I'm a 32 yr old female (AFAB). My therapist is a licensed social worker, so she cannot officially diagnose me, but she suspects I am neurodivergent and on the spectrum. I see where she may be coming from, but I have this part of me that doesn't believe it. I dont know if I don't want to believe it or if I genuinely am not someone with ASD. For example, I make eye contact with folks when we talk, though it does feel weird and I have to mentally tell myself to look away to not make it awkward. I understand sarcasm and jokes (most of the time) and I can be empathic. I can tolerate small talk, even though it makes me anxious. And I understand the back and forth roles of conversation. I do tend to try to finish other people's sentences or interpret which I'm working on. I think she is primarily focusing on my social phobia/terrible anxiety. I get anxious from anticipating possible social interactions and I have a lot of physical symptoms that come with that. I prefer spending most of my time alone playing games, doing art, or diamond painting. I do get lonely sometimes, but its hard to reach out to my two friends to tell them I need socialization time. I dont know what to think, I guess. Do you think I should try to get tested?

Any positive experiences with going inpatient to help me with my anxious thoughts over this? I just wanna know how this works and what happens while you’re there. Thank you for reading 💕
