    Well, I'll still be "different", that much is undeniable. I suppose my real purpose is to find a working diagnosis and learn all about that condition, so I don't feel like I'm fighting myself all the time. Does that make sense ?

    You're right. I know me better than he does, by far. He doesn't know about the crossword puzzles, for instance. When stressed, I turn to them. I'm not talking about few a day, I'm talking hundreds in a week. I guess for some, it's numbers. Others, trains or collecting things. For me, it's...

    Has anyone been diagnosed this late in life? How did you go about getting a diagnosis? I'm a 48 yr old female, high functioning in that I have retained the same job for almost 20 years , and live on my own. Not sure at this point what I could/should do with a diagnosis, but it would explain...
