WHO ICD-10 Version: 2016 F84.5 Asperger syndrome
A forgone conclusion really, but somehow satisfying all the same to get the confirmation at 44 years of age.

Same here, in late 40s. Did you get an ADOS-2 score? Mine was 13, but I think 2 of those points were the assessor's mistake.
All the best for the rest of your life.
Actually, they only told me verbally on Friday. All that was said at the end of the consultation was:
DSM-5 Autism Spectrum Disorder
ICD-10 Asperger syndrome
I looked up ICD-10 when I got home.
Letter and report to follow (sounds like there's a backlog...)
My letter took three months to be typed up, or went via Ulaan Bataar sorting office. It was about four pages of stuff I'd told them, plus the score. I regret somewhat not asking for more detailed feedback.
You may be able to find DSM-5 in the library, but there are no sympathetic characters, and the ending was a bit of a let-down.
