    Hi Simonjc,

     

    I'm 35 and went for diagnosis last month (private). I've struggled through various jobs and always wondered why things ended so badly for me. After a period of unemployment I ended up at University and struggled again at times. After a while I saw a pattern that I was fine studying alone (independent modules) but horrible in normal lectures. I originally wanted the diagnosis to help me at Uni but its taken a while.

     

    The letter arrived from the assessment clinic today (they did diagnose me there but I didn't consider it official until I got a letter) on the same day as I officially finished my degree. So I suppose you could say it was a fruitless exercise, however I think it will help my plan for the future in ways I can be a success rather than risk failure. I've already swapped my intended Master study to an online course.

     

    Its personal and only you can decide if it will help, but I personally feel it helps me understand what I am and how I can best make some progress. As others have said, what was once disabling for me is now just a difference that I can be aware of and make appropriate choices.

     

    Good luck

    I like your post, its really postivie! Like you I think that the diagnoose allows you to move on and deal with understanding why thinks are different for yourself and to put in place ways of 'fitting in with society'. Reading is always a great resource when the NHS or NAS don't have the resources that you require.
