I have been referred now by my doctor, I am 51 years old, I know it’s quite late in my life but I want to find out, my 20 year old daughter has recently been diagnosed autistic so it’s likely that I have it too. I want to know why I got bullied at school and why my peers don’t get me and why I come across as rude and silly sometimes, I’m also quite immature for my age which is probably also a trait, is there anyone else with similar circumstances on here.
Hi Linz,
Welcome welcome! Thanks for your post.
I can't answer a lot of the questions you pose, but maybe seeing a diagnosis will help you to understand yourself a little better? I was diagnosed what I consider quite 'late' (35) but I think the diagnosis is totally valid, regardless of what age we might be. We're only as old as we feel at the end of the day!
Hope to see you posting some more in the coming days and weeks :)
Thank you so much, hope my journey isn’t to long.
