Welcome, and good for you for taking the initative to find out. I am in my mid forties, (denial) ok, late forties I was diagnoised while my ex-wife and I were in maritial counseling. Yes, it felt good to know why I always felt different, and why I have had such difficulties with school. And why the butterfly and bee outside the school window were more interesting than the teacher.

At least now I know.

Finally, if your family still has problems accepting mental health issues perhaps describing medication as glasses for the brain may help. Good luck.

Joe
