How old were you when you were diagnosed?

36

During the month I turned 14. I was glad that an explanation was found for my odd behaviors.

I was 31 when I found out, and 32 or 33 when I was actually diagnosed.

27 seems to be my year.
Found out about AS in the last month of my 26th year,
saw that it fit me like a glove,
and I am seeking out diagnosis this year.
Hopefully I can get one.

27...
it works mathematically, aesthetically, historically, metaphorically....
makes sense to me anyways

I was 4 years and 10 months old when I was diagnosed. This was over 32 years ago.

Why be a label, be yourself and keep others guessing instead.

I don't know if I have an official diagnosis or not but, approximately one week before I signed up on WP, at age 36, my psychologist suggested that I look up AS. I was shocked at how well the description fit me - it was an absolute epiphany so, I fully accepted it. A depression I'd had since age 9 was finally over.

"Assessed" at 32....I think I was still 32...

I got the diagnosis at age 33.
Sure explains a few things about the previous 33 years.
Still working on resolving a few of them though.

39 actually about 2 hours ago i got an official diagnosis for Aspergers.

I was 46 when I was formally diagnosed as AS. Forty years ago, I was tentatively diagnosed with "childhood schizophrenia," though my parents put a stop to the school district doing any more testing on me.

I was diagnosed when I was 15 at the time (before last summer started).

I always thought 12, but recently mum mentioned 11. So I guess I was 11. It was some time in 2000 anyway.

I was diagnosed just after my 44th birthday---last November.

I was originally Dx'ed around the age of 29yrs of age.Since that time I've constantly been trying to learn how to deal with the ups and downs of NT life as it can been seen in it's many various forms..

Seven or nine

I was 11
