Beginning Adult Diagnosis Odyssey at 44 - interested to hear other's experiences navigating this winding path in middle-life.

Quietdude

Burnout and depression led to therapy, leading to the beginning of a possible adult diagnosis at 44. Profound sense of a weight being lifted, but also anger, doubts, confusion. Interested to hear other people's experiences and words of advice travelling this path in mid-life.

    I would check out the NAS pages. There is a lot of useful information there about lots of topics. Read up on books written by experts or by autistic people.

    I would refrain from this

    NAS50677 said:
    If you have a clinical diagnosis then you can legally procure helpful medication from Alternaleaf that will let you essentially scrub the CPTSD off your brain and you'll be fighting fit in a month or two.

    it is pointing you towards cannabis which will be very expensive and will not solve your autism. It may dull your senses and help to relax but it is not a miracle cure.

    You need to begin to know yourself and you will go through so many emotions such as anger and grief for your life as it has been.

    Remember to be kind to yourself, you are not broken just different. 

    Finally id you do get a diagnosis or choose to self identify welcome to the 'Latelings' club.
