Hi, I'm Florence, aged 66 and living in Dorset. 4 years ago I effectively 'abandoned' my son - then 32 by selling my house in Berkshire, helping him get a flat in Bucks and I moved back to my roots and family in Dorset. Last year my son was diagnosed with Aspergers. Instead of a nice trouble-free retirement I have spent a year travelling back and forth trying to sort out his problems and get help for him. On the good side, at least we now know why we always had problems. I am more tolerant of his idiosyncracies and he now realises he needs help. I hope I can make contact with other parents of late diagnosed adults through this forum.
