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???
Yep, accepted I was autistic after I retired and abot 2 years ago.(My name here as VLD actually stands for Very Late Diagnised). There must be hundreds or perhaps thousands of us. I'm on the waiting list for a formal diagnosis but it is so obvious. There is a Zoom meeting as below which I recently found. Not one I have attended myself yet but it would be good to get a good attendance to prove the need. I just wish NAS organised these zoom meetings, or at least publicised them when asked for support.
