Diagnosed late in life

NAS78873

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?

    Congratulations and welcome to the late diagnosis club! I was diagnosed autistic in the summer (age 62) I also got told I'm likely ADHD but need a separate assessment to confirm that. I'm considering getting that done but to be honest I'm confident as I can be that I'm ADHD and not convinced I will get an official diagnosis as I'm not sure how helpful that might be.
