I don’t think you have to since I have seen so many that are happy having a character that represents them and it is normal. Like on tik tok an autistic person pointed out that Ferb from Phineas and Ferb could be a non verbal autistic character but he is never labelled as such. If you didn’t come up making them this certain thing then don’t label them as it will feel you are just labelling them for clout. There is no reason to label someone if it isn’t needed.
