Autism Diagnosis

Mid life diagnosis, puts so much into perspective & makes sense yet there seems to be after the initial relief at knowing, a huge amount of processing & internal dialogue. I guess I am wondering how other people felt and if they went through similar?

    Age 59. diagnosis has taken me about 3 years to process.

    Huge amount of adjusting my attitude, and not always positive.

    At the end of the day I'm still me, but I'm a ME that really isnt so optimistic about some things "going well" as I used to be. 

    Some days I miss it all being a mystery, I feel I had more "hope" then, even if it was misplaced..
