I'm currently 25 and I've been trying for years to get a formal diagnosis, its extremely hard to come by for adults. I had heard a misconception that if you're not diagnosed by a certain age, it will never happen, but seeing these kinds of stories gives me hope :') Leroy, he/theyFri, 27 May 2022 03:19:22 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=250689https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=250689just got my professional diagnosis this morning!!Tue, 10 May 2022 05:01:13 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=245290https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=245290I'm 36 as of writing this and didn't get diagnosed (or even self-diagnosed) until last year.
