Very-late-diagnosis

Hello everyone. I’m in the process of getting assessed at the age of 71. I’m pretty sure, from what the assessor has said, that I’ll get an official diagnosis, and even if I don’t, I’m happy to self-diagnose. Understanding where I fit has come so late in life, but it’s wonderful. I’d love to know about any others on here who have come to this understanding as late in life as I have. Anyone out there???

    Hi Clarissa,

    Welcome!

    I was diagnosed earlier this year at the age of 65. I had to fight to get a diagnosis over many years. I have many co-morbid conditions with which I'm struggling.

    Hi Nemo. 65 is quite late enough! Was it the NHS you were fighting with to get assessed? I’m afraid I couldn’t wait, so went privately. I went with the cheapest I could find, which could have been a big mistake, but luckily they’re quite good
