Hi
I was diagnosed three weeks ago with Level 1 autism/Asperger’s Syndrome. My son had his diagnosis when he was a teenager and is now aged 30.
I have mixed feelings about it as it answers many questions on the difficulties I have always faced in my social interactions but I also feel hopeless and less inclined to try.
I would love to hear from other women who have had a diagnosis later in their lives and how they are coping.
Welcome.
I was diagnosed at 60.
I don't think 'coping' once diagnosed is appropriate for me.
The 'coping' was before the diagnosis.
Now I feel much better.
Everything makes sense and has a context.
