An interesting article. It comes too late for many of us.
I am in my 60s and undiagnosed. I doubt that the nhs will ever deal with the enormous backlog of undiagnosed women. They will as ever concentrate on children.
Too late for my daughter too. After being treated for severe depression, given lithium and a range of other drugs, they arrived at ocd and personality disorder. To me, that is a real no hope diagnosis. We watched as an intelligent, able woman's life disintegrated around her. She eventually took her own life five years ago.
A failure for the nhs, a tragedy for our family and a waste of a life with so much to offer the community.
I wonder what percentage of the UK suicide statistics, are autistic, diagnosed and undiagnosed.
