At 55, finally diagnosed with ASD. It was life altering. I went from loathing parts of me to acceptance. Saved my life.

Not to mention the family history you are helping build for the future family members so they don’t fight as hard for the diagnosis

Me with ADHD. I didn’t “need” a diagnosis. I graduated grad school easily and had a successful career. I needed the validation I wasn’t broken.
