I am 57 female and have been diagnosed with autism level 1, my psychiatrist also practically told me I have adhd too but need to have a separate assessment to fully diagnose adhd. I have an awful lot of traits. This is all come as a shock because all my life I've been struggling to get by in general, and feeling different from everyone else. Has anyone else been diagnosed late in life too?
I was diagnosed as autistic aged 41 years old, and I received my report a few days ago. I'm currently awaiting feedback from my ADHD assessment. I made a video about my delayed diagnosis and I have started an autism YouTube channel:
