Too neurotypical to be autistic but too autistic to be neurotypical

Lately I've felt like I don't fit. Like I don't struggle enough to be considered autistic. I do struggle, of course. I probably struggle more than neurotypicals do. And I know that being autistic isn't only about struggling. But sometimes it feels like I am faking it. Like it's just another mask that I put on. These sentences are so hard to write. It's like trying to catch a specific snowflake in the blizzard that is my brain. So I'll just stop here. Have you ever felt this way?

    This is actually quite refreshing to hear! 

    I have just been diagnosed (yesterday) and felt very relieved at first but when starting to tell more people I found myself feeling like an Imposter. It is weirdly nice to hear and feel that I am not alone after reading this thread.
