Hi! What are you suspecting about yourself?

Welcome. I was 64 when I figured out I was on the spectrum. It’s been quite a learning experience.

Hi! What are you suspecting about yourself?

I think there's a good chance I'm autistic. Would certainly explain a lot about me.

Hi Bill, like @WhitewaterWoman, I was 64 before I discovered I was autistic. It certainly explained a lot for me, and was a major, positive influence for my mental health. It is, indeed, a learning experience, and quite a different one from the generations that followed us. Hope you can find support and greater understanding through the community here.

Thanks all for the welcome.
