Still trying to wrap my head around this diagnosis as a fifty-two-year-old grandma. But it explains so much! Anybody else not diagnosed until later in life?

hi, julia,

i diagnosed myself after my nephew was diagnosed by doing research about what was going on with him just a few months ago. i'm 55. it makes sense of a lot of things that have happenned over the years.

there's an older woman's forum here. i think you can find it if you search for "straight talk".

Tons of us. There was no way to diagnose us when we were kids.
