I’m 35 and only found out I was autistic at 32. Was wondering if any other people were diagnosed late and feel somewhat not whole.
Discovered on my own that I am autistic.
It has led me to review all my issues through my life with this new understanding. I can see that i was (not at all) blissfully unaware of my interactions with others - which is why they ended badly and I ended up isolating myself.
I now see the problem, that i cannot read people at all. I has unmade my view of myself and what i need to do in order to interact with people.
I have no idea how to manage any relationship that has any emotional content whatsoever.
It has got to the point where I have reached out to try and find a therapist who specialises in autism to try and help me piece myself back together in this autistic form. (it is through the NHS so not holding out much hope there!)
