Age 47 Diagnosis

I had an assessment today and recieved a diagnosis of autism. Mind blown! How have I got to age 47 without a diagnosis? It feels like I've lost 47 years . Still processing obviously but feeling shocked, overwhelmed, scared, relieved, cross, angry, sad and cheated. And completely uncertain!

Lots of research for me this weekend I know that!!

Totally get this feeling, I'm still going through those same feelings having been diagnosed at 50. I need to know *everything*. I feel like my entire identity, the person I thought I was, just stripped away from me.
