Late ASD Diagnosis: Anyone Else?

Update: I got diagnosed. So yes I’m a late diagnosis autistic diagnosis at 19

It wasn't even brought to my attention until I was 19 and my partner couldn't believe I didn't have a diagnosis. He sent me a million articles about it and I was like Oh. and then when I was 23 my GP was like "how do you not have a diagnosis of autism and ADHD yet" lmao. I felt dumb for not recognizing it sooner, but turns out almost all my teachers did, my mom just didn't bother telling me

I was diagnosed at age 30

At 19, senior year. My mom noticed that I always moved the shampoo bottles on top of the shower door, and I couldn't explain why; later learned after testing that the water hitting a half empty bottle was overestimulating me.

Yes! At 29

But honestly always knew just was afraid to get the official testing done 😥

I was at 38 ✋

Idk. I’m 19 and I get my evaluation results in 5 days. I can’t wait like either way I would really just like an answer.

When I was 11 which was felt like to late

Yes as a kid I hated loud noises and people yelling and I thought it was because of my parents fighting but now I know

Yes at five years old

I was diagnosed at 23

I was diagnosed at 25 ♡

I was diagnosed at around 14 or 15 years old

Yes, I actually just got diagnosed this year and I'm almost 22. The doctor even told me it's very difficult to be diagnosed that late and that doctors typically only focus on diagnosing children instead of also diagnosing adults as well. Growing up, I had a learning disability since elementary school and was almost diagnosed with asbergers as a child, but they thought it was most likely nothing. I started wondering around a year or so ago if that was a possibility that I was autistic, but people around me thought I was "too smart" to be autistic and that I didn't act or look autistic. I even had an old coworker who was also on the spectrum that didn't believe I was. They basically said "I'm autistic so I know what is and isn't autistic, and you definitely aren't". I was so grateful though that I finally got a diagnosis this year after so long and finally have some closure about it all! 😊
