Did you receive a very late autism diagnosis/realisation?

Debbie

I thought a thread just to discuss this subject might be quite pertinent as quite a few of us on the forum are very late diagnosed/realised.

I was diagnosed at 60.

I read this article today in the BBC news:

How has your diagnosis/realisation affected you?

  • Thank  you everyone for your kind words regarding my eye treatment and also for your replies, which I am reading.

    I am in probably the oldest generation to be diagnosed/realised but we as a group have a very different life experience of autism from those diagnosed early.

    We are troupers really, having spent decades experiencing the 'battle of life' without armour or sword.
