I've been here a few weeks now while doing my autism assessment and waiting for the results, but as of today I can also say that I have received my autism diagnosis, at last, at the age of 35. I was told that I have a fairly typical 'female presentation', which makes a lot of sense to me.
I don't have all the details about it yet or if the assessors have any specific recommendations for me for the future. I get those in the report later this week, for discussion next week in a separate appointment. But for now, I'm just thankful that they saw the things that I've been hiding for years, and that they confirmed what I already knew was probably the case.
What a relief!
