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???

  • Nice to meet you too.

    I still often get a bit down about my struggles with emotional control and anxiety over certain situations. But I do understand myself a lot better now, and I stopped caring what other people think of me, and have realised I don't need.to try to be the same as others - it's ok to just be me.
