Hello,
I'm 67 and retired. Am I the oldest member of this site (and is there any hope for me)? A psychiatrist and a psychologist both told me recently that I have ASD although I've not been fully tested for it or been given a formal diagnosis. Should I seek a formal diagnosis so late in life? All I know is that I've always had perception, logic and understanding problems but I've had a successful life and I'm happy with my lot on the whole.
This is a great site!
Thankyou.

If you're here, I would assume you have some unanswered questions about whether you're AS. If I were you, I'd get a diagnosis, as long as it doesn't cost you a fortune. At this point, you probably don't need to know, but why not find out if you want to?

Reuvyn is the oldest member on the website, I believe, not to fear, you can always have the reputation of being the oldest gregarious person. :P
