I may be way off here, but im still trying to understand.
Discovering im autistic at 59 feels a little like i have been living my life as a tiger, and then at 59 discovering that im a lion. Does that make sense to others?
That's an interesting way of looking at it.
Whilst I had spent my life feeling different and not knowing why, I just felt like I was me. Knowing I'm autistic hasn't changed that, but it has helped me to understand why I have found certain aspects of life a struggle and to perhaps be kinder to myself.
That's really positive to hear :)
Since my diagnosis I feel I understand how life affects me and I feel more comfortable with it now and less frustrated.
