Assessment at 50

I was diagnosed in my mid 40s.    It was useful to understand why I was having all the problems that were starting to overload me.

i do worry a bit about what happens if i dont get a diagnosis 

Why do you want a diagnosis?    Post-diagnosis support is often non-existent so what do you think will happen?

There are huge pros and cons to you having a diagnosis - It's been useful to me to understand myself but, in my case, outing myself at work was career suicide.

thanks

thanks for sharing your experiences with me

45 years old and diagnosed on Monday. Currently still taking it all in so cannot advise on long term impact, but currently I feel massive relief. Currently I am not planning to tell work. If I do it will be selected key people and I will ask them to keep it to themselves.

Good luck, either way.
