I can totally relate to this, when I was first diagnosed last year, I was worrying that maybe I said the right things to get diagnosed.. but it’s now nearly a year on since my diagnosis and now that I have come to terms with it, it’s quite clear to see that I am autistic. I think once you get your head around it, and learn to accept yourself, the feelings of being an imposter should fade
I actually now feel I fit into the label quite well however the diagnosis for me was to give myself a break and forgive myself. I only feel an imposter when I hear the autistic community talking about how they want to be addressed in future and the strange ways they self hate themselves into getting mad with NTs....seriously we are all human with strengths and weaknesses, we need to join in understanding.once you realise your brain is wired like this for life you then realise, so is everyone else's. I'm rambling but honestly , we are all unique and different no matter what. Take care.
I got diagnosed a few months ago and I feel the same. I'm constantly worrying that I mislead the assessors by saying 'the right things' and shouldn't have actually been diagnosed. Other times though the label really makes sense so I'm just confused.
