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.
Welcome. I’m in a similar situation to you. It’s a revelation finding out and for me has brought a lot of closure to seemingly inexplicable situations l’ve gone through in the past. The main thing now is coping with other people’s reactions to my diagnosis (and it hasn’t been all positive unfortunately).
