I've been diagnosed 24 years now.Follow up question:Do you feel that you understand your own Autism?
Ive not been diagnosed yet, i'm 55 and only just realized i had the traits about 12 months ago, I've struggled all my life socializing, maintaining eye contact, struggled in job interviews, I've struggled all my life, I have put it down depression, alcoholism all sorts, I stopped drinking for 5 years once but i still all the traits and problems i had before i stopped. I have used alcohol alot to mix with people and feel so called normal. I'm still not sure if i should bother the doctor asking for a diagnosis there is no cure for it is there?
I used to be a heavy drinker but I managed to quit about ten years ago.Welcome to the forum.
