Bill I think you have given some wise advice.
All my life I have been aware of certain character traits that made me ‘just me’. Now I have a diagnosis and suddenly for better or for worse those character traits have been given a name and taken on a whole new meaning. My perspective of ‘me’ has suddenly shifted. I am not sure why since I am the same person I was before. Maybe taking meds has contributed to that?
I think for the oldies amongst us who have had a late diagnosis, figuring it all out before we tell anyone who may have some say in our future life chances (like a boss) is important.
Thanks for pointing that out Bill.
Kc – you’re right. Young people should not grow up feeling like they have a disorder. So ‘coming out’ to them and being role models must be a good thing. (Although if anyone used me as a role model they’d probably be in jail or living as a hippy on a beach somewhere within a short period of time!)
