how old are you? from what i know quite a few people diagnosed in childhood go on to struggle in some areas in adulthood, but not all, prehaps the diagnosis is not longer applicable. perhaps you do have it but the symptoms are minimal? are the symptoms worse when you are stressed? and you say also that you doubt you have aspergers, again perhaps you are on the higher functioning end where a label would seem almost redundant if you are not struggling.
if i were you i would just focus on what is important to you right now and come back to this when you are older, i mean if it isnt effecting alot currently then why bother getting a re-evaluation now, i mean sure it is a label to have but you could always follow up with “but i’ve found i dont struggle with many / any of the symptoms anymore, and i plan to get re-evaluated” which would maybe make you feel better should you have to explain any diagnoses you have to anyone.
also what problems do you think are your parents trying to invalidate? you may have support at the moment, i would wait until you find yourself in a situation where you have to be more self sufficient and then see how you feel about it, things may be very different then.
