Linda Night-owl

I am in counseling for depression and anxiety. While researching that, I found videos by women who were diagnosed autistic later in life. At last, I had found people who were much like me, and finally, my life has begun to make sense. I have done extensive research on ASD and late diagnosis in women, studied the diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5 and have taken multiple tests that indicate I have significant autistic traits. I have shown my research to my counselor, and I'm so glad I did. She is asking much more appropriate questions now, and she has referred me for a diagnosis.

(Edit)
I now have an official diagnosis of ASD Level 1.
