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.
Hello, I'm also female - aged 65 (nearly 66!) and have been diagnosed this morning also with ASD Level 1. I am so relieved - it explains how my life has been up to now! I'm not going nuts - I'm autistic!! It will take a while to fully process but I'm getting there!
