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?
Diagnosed at 48 with Aspergers and on the waiting list for ADHD assessment. I received my diagnosis one week before lockdown and it took a mental toll on me. Not at first, but maybe three months in I got really low. Getting Covid didn't help either. It's now some years later and it's still as hard. What can you do though? :)
