Hi everyone,
As it says in the title, I'm an older guy that just got diagnosed. I had some work issues that prompted me to look into Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I recently received the report and am diagnosed with ASD (Level 1). My RAADS-R score was 89. Even though it looks like my career is pretty much over and I am going to have to find a new way this late in life, at least my formative years actually make sense to me now.
Discussing my diagnosis with my wife and daughters was pretty interesting. They were rather unimpressed and said it doesn't change anything. I guess they really do love me for all of my differences.
I look forward to trying to interacting with folks and hopefully be able to provide something positive to the community.
If anyone has any questions, I am will discuss just about anything regarding what led up to the diagnosis or anything else.
J
