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 ..
I have just purchased a book called 'An adult with autism diagnosis' by Gillan Drew.
So far, so good.
Hello, I’ve just ordered this book by Gillian Drew, it looks good. Also I can recommend 2 others which helped me a lot as a female diagnosed later in life. They are Odd Girl Out by Laura James and Spectrum Women, walking to the beat of autism, by Barb Cook. I’m an avid reader and these were great. All the best.
Glad to hear that.
Thank you also for the recommendations.
I will look them up.
All the best to you.
