Does anyone have a diagnosis? What does it mean for you? I've been diagnosed with it today at 37.

It means that at 37 you have probably got a lot of good coping strategies already. Don’t let it get you down - you’re just you.

As someone who has had to become a home expert on this, at your age, you'll have either;

Learned coping methodology, and the factors that allow you to function at the best of your abilities.

Have become so adept at masking it all but you feel like every day is walking on a knife edge of barely coping.

I hope it's the former for you, and if it's the latter. Join the club.

This.

I was diagnosed with ASD a couple of years ago but as I'm now 51 ive long since developed coping strategies without ever realising it. It still sucks sometimes admittedly but I mostly get by.

There are also plenty of times where the latter here applies.

It's a useful "explainer", as in "ah that's why that was odd", or " no I'm not a jerk but I may have been acting like one"

Not much else of benefit, various drugs may help but doctors very slow to even talk about them.
