Did anyone get diagnosed with autism or aspergers later in life? Adult only!

I'm seriously considering this may actually be whats going on with me... I tick so many boxes and everytime I do those non clinical rests I seems to come in pretty high up the scale at least mid to high.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON do you have autism?

LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON · F

@Mellowgirl No.
I have other stuff though. It's not fun.

If you don't know her, she is an incredible comedian. Her show Nanette, it's paradigm shifting, well, it was for me and I cry every time, yeah it's not your ordinary comedy show.
The one following that is called Douglas, in case you want to watch them, order matters here IMO. In her show Douglas I believe she does talk about her autism , which was diagnosed in adult life.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON thank you. I'm sorry you're suffering.
I watched her on YouTube she's interesting. Awkward. I don't think I'm like that I guess only in the presence of known haters.
In environments where people focus on what's going on around them and I'm usually fine.
I think my issue is that I've never liked being centre of attention to suddenly have people digging and prying into my life. I don't think I can.

@Mellowgirl Thank you for your kind words.

All we can do is be ourselves and stay safe.

We need to take care of ourselves.

I wish you the best.
