Hi,
Yesterday I was diagnosed with level 1 autism spectum. I'm 45. Female. And although the diagnosis doesn't suprise me - I had figured it out, and took myself for testing. I find myself sad for my younger self, and frankly angry at all those folks who could, and perhaps should, have spotted something when I was a child. I have just one life, and I've spent 45 years feeling that I was somehow failing, when all I needed was someone to recognise neurodivergence.
Anyone else feel this way?
