I’m able to make my own decisions so why am I being controlled?

I am high functioning autistic which is confirmed by a medical professional and they never once said I had intellectual disability and I used to be sexually active casually and am lectured by my therapist and my parents that they think I was putting myself in unsafe situations by meeting so many random men for sex that I used to do. But I know the consequences of casual sex and the dangers of all of it plus I can consent. My medical guardianship is going to be removed very soon because I’m in the process of hiring an attorney. I called the doctor office that did my psychological testing. Someone told me tell your therapist to leave you alone tell them you’re an adult who can make their own decisions. My parents and therapist don’t want me to meet up with what they call “strange men” to have sex with and when my parents find out I’m meeting up or talking to them it goes right to my therapist and then I’m lectured on why I shouldn’t do it and why it can put me in an unsafe situation? This is all because of the place that did the psychological testing and said I needed to have medical guardianship all because of the error about my IQ and adaptive behavior score. Because they falsely believed I’m unable to make medical decisions which is untrue. To solve this I’m getting another opinion by another psychologist and they will literally find nothing wrong with me and they will say I’m competent enough to make my own decisions then everyone will leave me alone about my sex life just like anyone else. Why can’t they understand that I’m an adult who can make decisions on who to have sex with? other sexually active adults aren’t lectured like this and I am. This is strange and uncalled for to me. Other adults are able to make their own decisions about their sex life and I have to be lectured always and asked a lot of questions by my therapist about who they were and how much I knew them. All because of this doctor office that I did my psychological testing. I see the therapist from the same practice. Someone also said that I do not write like a person with an IQ of 76 so the test was wrong. I am going to another medical professional and getting a second opinion because what you guys say about me is falsely incorrect and crosses the line because I do not write like a child. I should be treated like everyone else and make my own decisions about sex without being lectured because I have been going to therapy intense and getting better at my judgment and I passed a sexual consent test by a medical professional as I am 100 percent not intellectual disabled and not low functioning so don’t call me that because if I was intellectual disabled I wouldn’t be able to write all this and use amazing vocabulary and express myself. What should I do? I have better judgment when it comes to sex now because I get to know the guys better now and I’m not too quick to meet up and we exchange std info before having sex. The intense therapy I am doing now is teaching me these skills. I am also in the process of getting my medical guardianship removed so I would finally make my own decisions. I’m an adult who can express myself and my iq doesn’t show my true intelligence. I am intelligent in other ways and I have achieved a lot in my life and able to live a normal life. I understand the nature, risks, and consequences of my sexual activities. What are your thoughts?
