Newly diagnosed AUDHD woman aged 60!

Lizloz06

Hi 

ADHD a year ago Autism a few days ago. The only word I can come up with for how I feel is ‘nothinged’  The first words I managed to say after being given the Autism diagnosis were ‘I’ve lost so much’ other than that I don’t remember much of the journey home or anything else the Dr said. 
Im multi diagnosed M.E EDS PoTS for a long time and was diagnosed with BPD/EUPD and GAD. I challenged  the BPD at diagnosis in 2018. 
I’m wondering if there are any late diagnosed people on here like me and particularly women who may have experienced similar? I’d be very grateful to hear. Thank you

  • Welcome to the neighbourhood,  . Like you, I am an AuDHDer. I am male and was dual diagnosed at 59. I thoroughly get how you feel. So many emotions after diagnosis - and prior misdiagnosis - and decades of feeling different and being misunderstood and othered. A sense of a need to reassemble. Give yourself plenty of care, love and time. What springs to mind is the metamorphosis of a butterfly.
