Most of us have received a label to receive health benefits, disability payments, for school and so we can talk about "symptoms" we are experiencing. We communitcate with each other on this site with labels - as we discuss our struggles so others here can understand what we are going through.
We are not the label...and many do not understand what the label means.
I work with many with the ADHD & Autistic label - I have experienced incredible talent. If you were flunking art or music in school...believe me, there would be no label.
We are learning ways to help the brain integrate better to improve symptoms.
It will take a long time before the general public "gets it". Do not let it kill your spirit.

“Psychotherapy works by going deep into the brain and its neurons and changing their structure by turning on the right genes. The talking cure works by "talking to neurons," and that an effective psychotherapist or psychoanalyst is a "microsurgeon of the mind" who helps patients make needed alterations in neuronal networks.” Norman Doidge
