making a researchgate account without a degree

when I was a kid in middle school I began reading scientific news on websites like scientific american etc. eventually migrating over to actual research articles.

when I was 16 I developed a very serious neurodegenerative disease and began reading medical research articles all the time.

5 years later I probably have 10's of thousands of article reads who knows how many articles I have read in 5 years could be over 10,000 articles.

its too bad I didn't make an account when I was a kid because now all those reads never got counted.

I never made it into college because of my disease so I cant make an account. can I just lie and use a fake name?

my friends from highschool are already writing research papers on asteroids and NASA stuff but they don't study science they study politics.
