Struggling with Self-Diagnosing ASD

Ive taken multiple well informed ASD tests to try and have an informed self diagnosis and most often get that i have some form of ASD, but i always feel like i'm lying so i can be different or special. Has anyone else had this experience? What is the best way to cope with it?

I have this feeling all the time, even though I've taken thousands of tests that specifically say that I am most likely autistic. I suppress the thoughts telling me I'm not, and avoid things that might turn the idea into a different thing (if that makes any sense).

Imposter Syndrome. Really a b!tch. My best advice is just, if you're worried you're faking, you aren't. Faking is intentional. If it's happening when you're alone, it's not for attention. You are experiencing these symptoms. Only you know what you experience and self diagnosis is 100% valid <3
