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 to the forum :)
You're never too old to be diagnosed, it's a wonderful life changing for many on the spectrum of any age.
I hope it's answered a lot of questions for you and brought you comfort. I hope you can find some answers and support here.
