i was diagnosed at 29 with autism, i have reached the anger stage of acceptance, i am not sure why i am so angry i think it is because if i was diagnosed earlier i may of received the help i needed at school and people would of treated me differently instead of bullying me, i went my whole life being bullied for being different, i also have fibromyalgia now so that doesn't help, i struggle to make friends i just keep myself to myself and do my work, does anyone have any advice, how did you feel when you were diagnosed later on in life.
I wasn't diagnosed until I was 60.
I suspect that you're angry over missed opportunities. I know that there are some things that I woud have done differently in my personal life as well as my career if I had only known that I was autistic. Sadly, things are what they are and no amount of anger will change the past. You have the option to change the present as well as the future depending upon the decisons you make in how you'll conduct your life.
