Hi I am Mark,
I am 55 years old, I had an ASD assessment in March 2021. At the end of the assessment, I was diagnosed with autism (HFA).
Hi Mark. I am 49 years old and I have autism. I was diagnosed only recently, though I had always known that I am different. I am not a great reader but have immersed myself a bit since my diagnosis. But I think the important thing is to give yourself space and time. If you want any book ideas, here's a link to another discussion.

So, welcome to the forum. What you are feeling and thinking about yourself is something that so many of us have gone through too, or in my case, still going through. I'm not a long poster, as I don't have the best concentration span or many "words in my word bag" but welcome and take care of yourself.
Thank You
