Do you consider this infantilization?

Rather than parental consent, a doctor or psychologist might be more qualified, to give a formal testimonial.

(Though, I assume that any literate person, of any age, can use the same checklists.)

I would be concerned about labeling myself as incompetent, in the formal record, especially as menial labor cannot pay living expenses, without additional grants and subsidies.

I question whether this charitable cause can cover it's own overhead, and who gets what amount of the proceeds.

It could be that none of these questions are any of your concern, and an assisted living situation would be an improvement for you. At the risk of sounding disrespectful, I am thinking of the Down's Syndrome people, selling plums, at the activity center.

If you were already in a state of mind, in which this would be helpful, it is not technically an example of infantilization.

(Edit -- Dang Autocorrect, I had it right, the first time.)

I'd only be OK with this if there was some court order indicating guardianship. Otherwise this is just wrong.

However not being allowed to sign a petition seems a little extreme. What was the petition about? Courts can't take away someone's right to vote just because they have a guardian. I understand someone may need guardianship to manage medical or financial decisions, but courts can't take away someone's right to vote just because they have a guardian.
