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 ..
Hello, I was diagnosed in May this year age 55. I immediately felt so much relief and peace. I just feel so much better about myself. I really feel now that I can understand everything. I know I will still have same difficulties but I can deal with things better. I’m a mother and a grandmother and I feel the only way is up. Best of luck.
