Yes, absolutely you can be diagnosed as an adult. I am 68 years old, and was diagnosed at age 64. It really does explain a lot about my life, and I'm using that information to guide myself through going back to school for my second masters degree. You go, rockstar, and don't let anything or anyone stop you from reaching your goals!
