Hi - diagnosed late in years

NAS78487
over 2 years ago

At the age of 51. I suspected to be on the spectrum since my son was diagnosed. No words to describe to finally know why I am/was the way I am/was, and why people treated/reacted to me the way they did. Glad to be here. Slowly coming to peace with it. Have known for 7 months.

    Been there done that Slight smile

    My son was diagnosed with Aspergers as an early teenager.

    Some years later (when I was 55) I went to my GP as my anxiety was just getting worse and that resulted in a Psychiatrist consultation followed up by a full Phychological assessment including an ADOS test, resulting in an Autism Level 1 diagnosis.

    It would have been nice to have known when I was a teenager and now I am more aware of situations that cause me stress ie changes in routine, busy venues, social appointments, using telephones and obsessions.
