I just got diagnosed at nearly 42. I have been warned that their is little to no support for people like us. This is especially true for people like me who were able to get married, have kids, have a career and now own my own business. But, that doesnt mean I dont need help. The only reason I have done okay is because I mask so damn well. But, it is wearing me down and I am so damn tired.
Fortunately, the specialist that did my assessment specialized in adult autism and she is amazing so I am going to use her as much as I can for support and I am also glad I found this board. I hope to find an in-person group at some point. It would be interesting to hang out with a bunch of other autistics.
I just got diagnosed last month at 26 years old. I also went to someone that specialized in adult evaluations. Trying just to find a place to get diagnosed was insane. Most were catered to kids.
I also got diagnosed in Atlanta, but now I've moved to St. Louis, so I will need to search for new resources for help.
