Autism (diagnosis) 2

Teenagers getting late diagnosis

  • 14-15 years
  • Can sometimes be diagnosed late which can be due to all kinds of reasons and mis-diagnosed for something else
  • Hormones can have an impact
  • they may convince themselves of being stupid, dumb, or even try and ignore it
  • Stands out more when people are young but still is missed because of people like teachers thinking that they would already be diagnosed.

Adult Diagnosis

If the person is 30, by the time they are diagnosed, its harder to get help from people as they wont believe that they haven't been diagnosed.
