Be sure to check out The Unmasked Autistic, Glenn Weller, from Australia. He’s in his early 50s and unmasked just one year ago. I’ve come across a few others in their 60s on Twitter.

Whether late diagnosed in 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s, it’s all been fairly tragic that I’ve observed in the last two years. Support needed. None given. None even thought of.

This theory has to start from scratch because too many have been missed and too many are being neglected. Time is not a luxury any late diagnosed autistic person has, including not yet diagnosed.

The first is to recognize and request accommodations. That don’t exist yet (I’m in the US). Who do we ask? That’s a helluva tough question. So I sat down and started writing theories to emphasize the most important problems and needs.

Your needs, despite your age, are just as important as mine are at age 42. We’re here for each other as much as we can be in today’s society..

Thank you so much, Lise, for your response. Comments on my theories serve a helpful purpose to demonstrate to any new readers that here is evidence more people need to see.
