Greetings!

[Katharine]

Hello folks, I'm new to the site. I'm also one of those late-diagnosed people. I was also different, kind of an oddball by the standard standards. It was a relief to learn about Asperger's in my early 50s (!), & be told that's who I am. Very nice. I hope to enjoy this community, & learn a few things along the way.

Hi and welcome, sounds like you have felt relief at finding out about autism, I can resonate with that. I hope that you enjoy it here and find it useful and supportive.

Welcome, @Katharine , You are not alone with a late diagnosis. The diagnosis let me understand more about a particularly horrible time in my life after 4 decades had passed.

Welcome to the forum!

I was in my 50's also when diagnosed.
Then I found this group and most everything I was reading was remarkably so much like me
and my life experiences.
I had never heard of Asperger's and knew little of nothing about autism.
Hope you find it helpful and insightful here also.
