  • Hello J and Welcome,

    I am sorry to hear that you have so much to deal with at the moment.  You'll be pleased to know that you are not late for the party, I am 70 have and just diagnosed too, and someone joined recently who is in their 80's and also just diagnosed. So, it's never too late to discover your autism.

    I like this forum because everyone is so considerate and genuine. This is the only forum where I have ever felt comfortable. 

    There is a mass of information available and I am sure someone will reply with useful links, before long.
