I was diagnosed late and myself and family were left to fend for ourselves

I was diagnosed at 48 and my children and husband or myself wasn't helped.  We are now at crisis as they don't have an understanding of my diagnosis. 

I end up having meltdowns,  I go out as feel understood and accepted more out than i do at home. 

We need help for my family to understand what sets me off etc.  If we don't I don't know what I'll do. As I can't cope I'm burnt out and don't know what to do next.  I'm desperate
