I 'm 62. I described my situation, re the support I get, on another forum to be told that an NT my age would get similar support.
It really downplayed how things are with me .
Hi, I’m 63 and was diagnosed nearly two years ago.
I can understand and identify with the feeling that your difficulties are being underestimated, minimised, and even trivialised.
Two days ago someone at my local mental health services observed that I must be fine as I was able to speak fluently and coherently.
When mental health professionals display such misconceived notions about autism, it is small wonder that the general public remain unenlightened.
someone about to commit suicide or murder could be able to speak fluently and coherently --- Its hardly a good assessment. Its a very off hand / cant be bothered attitude.
