It is quite common for people to have gone through childhood and into adulthood never having questioned the presence of Autism, but maybe having the feeling that they struggled in ways that others don’t seem to. An Autism diagnosis later in life can be healing in that it can provide an explanatory framework for why some things may have been more difficult for you than for others, as well as supporting access to services.
