Dear cool09 - I just scrolled down far enough to see this thread. Then reading the first responses I find that people consider it to be "later in life" when they've been dxed in their teens or twenties! I'm glad I stuck in until the end. Don't feel too bad. I was in my very-beginning 60s before officially diagnosed, & I'm 63 now. So, you're still very young as far as I'm concerned.
I do know how you feel, though. After so many years - decades! - of feeling weird, uncomfortable, alien... and even being abused not only as a child, but as an adult - it can seem overwhelming to finally find out you are simply a unique person on the spectrum, & it's others who were wrong, not you.
Anyway, if you ever want somebody to write/chat with, I'd be happy to respond. It's even kind of lonely being on this forum where probably 99.9% of the membeers are young enough to be your children. In my case, my grandchildren!
I'm not certain, but it seems when I joined this forum I checked off that other members could contact me privately to my email address. I'll check, & if I'm wrong about that, I'll come back to let you know.
