Is the diagnosis crucial? I am 65 and only a few years ago figured out with the help of a friend who is a therapist that I am indeed autistic. All my life I’ve been misdiagnosed. And it sure answers a lot of confusion about my life.
When I mentioned it to my psychiatrist he just shrugged and said there is nothing to treat it. 😡
I just feel better knowing why my life has been so confusing and now I take better care of myself.

We feel better in knowing who we are for better understanding of ourselves. We are not seeking anything other than knowledge.
