Diagnosed today at 49 years old (M)

UK poster here... Formally diagnosed today with ASD Level One.

Conflicted feelings, I feel justified after five years of working towards the diagnosis on our NHS, and grateful to the medical practitioners who helped me on the journey.

But I also feel sad as I can't help feeling that my life would have turned out differently had I known from childhood.

Emotions are a bit over the place. Any tips for a old Aspie?
