I’m 51 next month and it has took me till now to realise that I am different, my daughter who is 20 has been diagnosed with autism and I have the same traits as her, I have struggled all my life with the way I am, I may come across as rude sometimes and I have no friends because people don’t get on with me. I am going to the doctors to ask for a referral, am I doing the right thing or should I leave it alone at this late stage.
I would go for it. I was diagnosed earlier this year and I’m in my fifties. It’s never too late to gain a greater understanding of why you are the way you are. I’ve found it very helpful.
Thank you, I’m getting quite emotional thinking I might just get the help I need now.
