@lassyxo Hello lassyxo, thank you for opening this discussion. Let me tag some other members who can possibly share their experiences with you.
Hello everyone, how are you today? 
How old were you when you were diagnosed? What prompted you to seek diagnosis? How long did it take for the diagnosis to be made? Can you share a bit about life with autism?

Morning,
I've just joined this group and I was wondering if any of you have been diagnosed with autism in adulthood.
My dad is being diagnosed right now! He has already seen a psychiatrist who has already given a first opinion. He still has a few other doctors to see to confirm the diagnosis. It's been, very hard for us, his family but at the same time it's a relief to know?
Can anyone share what daily life is like with autism? I'd love to learn what I need to do to best be there for him and support him through this.
Thank you xx
