Am I valid?

Hi, so i have possible AuDHD, I have diognosed and medicated adhd,ocd,and anxiety. Im a highschool student with a mom who works with autistic and neurodivergent kids and she and the school basically say I have diagnosis but we are afraid to get anything beyond the school based "diagnosis" due to the political climate. I get ticked off easily,struggle with making friends and am overly logical yet also overly empathetic to the point people assume I fake cry. I have sensory issues to noise and sunlight, constantly pick my skin and clear my throat unconsciously. I have special interests/some are more hyperfixations in psychology,Hetalia,shoujo anime,and vocaloid. Do you think this is autism or just an adhd thing, kids in my class assume I fake cause all the people on the internet apparently fake. Am I autistic even though I dont have a official diagnosis. Ive struggled socially for years and have only been able to make two freinds on my own,the rest are mutuals from my brother. I have a quiet form of adhd and my emotional regulation and meltdowns didnt happen till around kindergarten. Ive always seems to attract bullys and not understand why people act the way i do which caused alot of self hate. Forgive me for any spelling and grammar mistakes. Have a great day everyone i support you all. :D
