Getting a diagnosis

Orangegnome

Hi I just want to ask a question about getting a diagnosis as an adult. I am considering applying to be assessed, but at the age of 50 I am not sure what value I will get from this. I can read all the A.S.D.  self help books on how to be kind to myself and cope with the world better and gain a lot from that. But I wonder what the benefits of having a confirmed diagnosis would be. Can anyone enlighten me on their experience? Pray

  • Having a diagnosis has enabled me to know more about myself. Also, it has provided me with a better understanding and awareness of the condition which I can share with others.

    On the other hand, it has also provided me with more doors to open for support should I need any in the future.
