I do wonder about that too sometimes but I don't think you can really untangle it because being autistic is such an integral part of our identity so I don't think you can really separate it.
but I do think about this too sometimes when I am considering asking for adjustments at work (so far I haven't though I do need some I think) but I am always worried that it's not actually because I am autistic but just because I am not doing well/stupid/lazy etc.
