    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.

    Whatever the outcome, your assessor will almost certainly be able to identify where your difficulties lie and will offer the best imaginable advice on what-if any as autism has no "cure"- course of action you could take to deal with whatever type of spanner it is and where in the works it is situated. They aren't going to say something like " No, you're not autistic, goodbye," " NEXT1"

    It will be good,don't worry, and......GO!
