Very-late-diagnosis

Clarissa

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,

    Good to hear that you are in the process of getting assessed. I'm pretty late to it all too, at 60. I hope you enjoy your diagnosis day! Although it was tiring talking about myself all day, it was wonderful to feel understood, really understood by someone for the first time. We are truly the most resilient people to have come through life for so long undiagnosed. Best wishes to you!
