> even after a formal diagnosis, I still struggle with the "lazy" label
I identify with this. The negative self-image, once internalised, can be very hard to shift.
I've never worked a fulltime paid job. Mainly because most workplaces in this country are terrible at accommodating neurodiverse ways of working. So I feared I was "lazy". Then a girlfriend I was living with, pointed out that a "lazy" person wouldn't work 50-60 hour weeks, unpaid, on community development projects.
