I’m 73 and have just worked out a self diagnosis with my therapist. I can’t afford the official route and no coverage on my insurance. I’ve been previously diagnosed with MDD, anxiety, ibs etc probably like everyone else here. I’ve been doing a lot of research on my own and not found a lot for older women with late diagnosis. What I have found has really helped me understand myself better. Have always felt like an outsider everywhere except in nature and with animals. Socially I’m a good pretender most of the time who will escape from it as soon as I can. Just looking to connect with others who understand and a place where I don’t have to pretend I’m something I’m not. I’m most a home in my garden or at my drawing board. My mother was most certainly on the spectrum too which made it even harder for me to connect with people. Looking forward to meeting people and learning more.
