Are there any other people out there diagnosed late in life?
How has it affected your perception of yourself and the life you've led?
My ASD diagnosis has made me feel a lot calmer, and that my likes and dislikes have a justification.
It's also put many of my life experiences and difficulties into a context.
I now know why I have seemed different all my life, with the exception of a few people I know who are maybe odder than me ..
Yes, I was 56...how does it affect me to be diagnosed? Oh boy, how many hours do you have?
But, I think you summed it up well there. Makes sense of everything. It's a sudden unveiling of why you are who you are? And that opens up a whole new window to the self.
